I started playing the demo. It runs, but it just freezes every 10 seconds or so. There is no error message. It just freezes for about 20 seconds and then unfreezes itself, only to freeze again in another 10 seconds. I've tried all kinds of video setting, and nothing seems to affect this behavior. I am running on a 2.4GHz PC with 4G Ram, and a Nvidia GeForce4 MX video card (in other words a very old PC). Is my PC simply too old and decrepit for Minecraft? Will the actual purchased game work better than the demo, or just as bad?
I tried this and created the bat file with the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" ...... solution, but nothing happens when I double-clicked on the bat file. The black command window briefly appears and disappears and then that's it. Nothing else happens. Does this solution only work with the full version of Minecraft? I'm just using the demo version. Does this solution work with the demo version?
