Went the hard way, got everyone the mods. We're using 1.4.7. It worked on everyones but then my friend got the BSoD and now is getting the 'Failed to start' error right after the mojang logo.
He can run 1.5.1 fine without the mods.
Here is the crash report:
(changed his name to friend in the file location)
I fixed it! I deleted the forge.cfg as it was shown there was an error in the first line. The game generated a new one when I launched again and it worked!

Retired StaffAre there any special characters in your friend's windows username?
I believe there is a space like firstname lastname. I will clarify later.
edit: nope, the actual username is just one word
edit2:
I fixed it I deleted that config file and then let it regenerate by itself when I launched the game again!
