I just recently bought a computer which runs windows 8, however although everything else has worked fine, Minecraft not so much. After installing java and then minecraft when launching minecraft the launcher comes up just fine. However nothing works past that, instead it says welcome guest! Please log in. and Loading versions. The log out button is grayed out as is the play button I am unable to log in and this screen will not change. Any fixes?
Thank you so much your a life saver, I don't know why I didn't think of that.
