Hi!

I have LOTS of problems installing Forge. I recently had 1.4.6 with Forge on it and it was working fine, but I really want Simply Horses mod and it only works with 1.4.4 and previous Forge version... So here I am, downgrading my MC (by downloading a 1.4.4 minecraft.jar on the internet, it actually works.)

When I run Minecraft, it crashes with this report:

---- Minecraft Crash Report ----
// Oh - I know what I did wrong!

It seems that Java is in cause, but I can't tell exactly where. Knowing that I deleted META-INF and that my "mods" file in .minecraft is empty, can anyone help me figure out what's happening?
Also, upgrade to last Forge version and/or 1.4.6 for Minecraft isn't the solution for me: I do this to get a mod which doesn't work on these versions, and I really want it.

(Simply Horses, as I said.)

I run the latest Java version (Java version 7 update 10, they said)
on Windows 7
my graphic card is a... I don't know, seriously, but it's not very powerful as my computer is a "cheap" Toshiba laptop.
well, what else... 3,00 G of RAM, stubborn Avira antivirus...

Here's also the last "Forge Mod Loader - Client" textpad, if you need it:

I hope you will be able to help me with this... Thanks!

It seems that you forge config is corrupted. Delete it at .minecraft/config/forge.cfg .
