Minecraft Forums

OK, A few months ago i was going on to MInecraft and after logging in, nothing happened and i got a black screen and it closes. I check the .Minecraft file in %appdata% and the only files there was "bin" and "lastlogin". All the files including minecraft.jar were in the bin. I tried using force update before logging in but nothing happens and i get the same problem, black screen and crash and no other files in .minecraft but bin and lastlogin. If anyone could please help me, OR direct me to a forum post that explains this, i would greatly appreciate it. I havnt been able to play MInecraft since the "pretty scary update". I have had it. NOBODY has helped me with this problem and i feel that i should just give on everything, its been so long that i posted this and i have no more self confidence, so please help a minecrafter out? Its been so long since i last played minecraft and my parents cant even afford a new computer.
