Minecraft Forums

So I recently got an old used computer to play games on for myself. I had minecraft on my other computer which is a windows 7 computer but that was a family computer and my parents didnt want any games on it slowing it down. I downloaded it onto my XP and this error came up when I clicked "play" after logging in. I dont really follow what the crash report is telling me went wrong. Can someone maybe help me understand?

Seriously!? Not one person can help? No one from Mojang or a player or anything?

geez thanks for the help no one. glad to know people dont care about their players.

Could you post the computer specs of the one you got the error at?

I don't think he's coming back here, I think he ''ragequit'' the forum.

We have just entered the minecraft world on our new computer and are having the same issue (Windows 7) - we purchased it and I think we downloaded it. Every time we try to play (after logging in) we get the following message:
