hello,

Im away for the weekend so im using my brothers old laptop (acer aspire 8920G).
It has recently be cleaned out and reset to factory settings. Today i installed the latest java 7 and downloaded ftb. When i launched ftb mindcrack pack after the mojang screen my computer crashed and gave me the blue screen of death. I reinstalled java and ftb mutiple times with no luck of fixing. i tried lowing the memory it was using from the default 1G to 500mb and now it doesn't crash my compter. Now i get a error message which ill post below.

Quote from The6P4C

Have a look in the config file in '/pack dir/minecraft/config/forge.cfg' and look for an out of place space on line one. If you can't find one post your forge.cfg please.
