Have a very basic, refurbished Windows 7 computer that I am trying to use for Minecraft. Have downloaded minecraft.exe from minecraft.net/download. When clicking "Play" on the launcher, a Minecraft 1.6.2 window flashes for a second and then disappears. No other error messages are shown. Any suggestions?
Thanks, but I'm afraid your launcher didn't work either. And the launcher downloaded from minecraft.net/download doesn't work with 1.6.4, either. Any other suggestions? Is there any way to determine if the computer has the necessary system requirements?
Hi,
Disregard what the other guy said, he was incorrect.
After you press 'Play', and the launcher appears back this means there was a crash.
We need to see what is in your Development Console, which can be found on the second tab of the launcher.
First, copy all of the text. Then, go to https://gist.github.com/ and paste it. Click Create Secret Gist.
Then give us the link it takes you to.
