Please fix the error and restart.

Looks confusing... are you sure you've got the latest java?

Is your system 32Bit or 64Bit? whatever it is download that version of java

Having exclamation marks or other special characters in your Windows username can break Java, which in turn breaks Minecraft. To fix this issue, either create a new Windows account without any special characters (only A-Z and 0-9), or change the working directory of the launcher.
See http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/special-characters/ for more information on working around this problem.

Way to go. Ignore Tails1 when he's got the answer.
