Minecraft Forums

I just purchased Minecraft and was about to start it, downloaded the proper Javascripts as such, but a window keeps popping up and it says this:

Please fix the error and restart.

I have no idea what any of this means. Can anyone help me?

Looks like a firewall problem from here. I'd suggest disabling your firewall and trying again.

Thanks for the help, turning off the firewalls was able to me to play, and the last couple of days have been fun.

Though, now it seems the game has crashed. The message it keeps giving me is this:

What does this mean?

A_Herb is right. Your first issue was something blocking the launcher from downloading the game files. The second problem is something blocking minecraft from opening a network socket. Even in single player the client part of the game talks to the server part using a communications socket.

Any suggestions on what I can do to rectify this problem?Nevermind; deleting a Java file fixed it, I'm back to playing now. Thanks for the advice.
