HELP PLEASE!

I just bought minecraft today exspecting it to work fine and dandy after i bought it, well unfourtunatly this happens instead; I put in my user name and password logon and wait while the download screen comes on. I watch the green bar slide across my screen untill it's done, then my screen just turns black, no error message, no nothing.

Now i have windows 7, and java 7u11, and intel premium.

Ive updated my java several times((uninstalling the last coppy before updating))I've also deleted the .bin folder several times and forced update to replace the file several times and that never seams to work as well, I've heard that it could be from java 7u11 ive heard that minecraft doesnt exactly 'float well' persay with this rendition of java. But i just dont exactly know, im alittle computer and program swavy and i assumed this could be something i could easly fix.... but now i think ive learnded im wrong

It almost seams as if nothing works to fix this! All help is appriciated!!!


[NOTE] I own minecraft on a diffrent computer and it runs fine but i belive it still has java 6u30

This is happening to me too! It's not because you just bought Minecraft, I've had it for a while now, and the same thing happened to me (my post is here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1655383-minecraft-wont-work/) Anybody out there, HELP US!

Try force updating. You do it by:

1. Going into Options
2. Clicking Force Update. You'll notice that it'll gray out when you click it with a message saying Will force! Just close the options when you get the message.
3. Log in. It should work.

I had the same problem after modifying Minecraft, just without the black screen, and force updating worked.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't work. It just updated minecraft, then showed a black screen. Anyone else got any other ideas?

I never modified minecraft, and ive tried that several times even deleted .bin file and replaced all them files
its not the files i believe its java like ive been told, but then again im no exspert, i wouldnt really know.

BUT deleting the .bin file in your %appdata% in your hidden files DOES work for some people!!!!

Guys I have the same problem here too, I usually get a black screen or an error message! Mojang should fix this and fast!

Try updating your graphic drivers. I had a problem where whenever I opened Minecraft I got the "Blue screen of death" and when I updated my graphic drivers it fixed the problem. Be extra sure you have the latest version of java, and see if your computer has the right specs to run it.
