Please fix the error and restart.

Please help me

OMFG, Herobrine is attacking your computer! Kill it with fire!

Kidding. Honestly, Maybe your java is corrupted. Uninstall all of your versions of Java, restart the computer, then get a fresh version of Java 7.

Do what it tells you to do.

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.

idk what it tells me to do,thats why i asked
