Minecraft Forums

I didn't see this in the common problems stickied thread, although I've found similar issues with others. I have MC installed on a Dell Inspirion 6400 dual core 1.73, 32 bit with 2 Gigs of Ram. I know the pc is a little older and slower than what most would recommend, but this is my son's homeschool computer and I'm trying to get him at least functional on MC.

After the udate of Java and install of MC, i click "Play" and it launches the MC window, with the screen black. Music is there and I hear the "click" sound when I click on certain parts of the screen. I've looked for the "Bin" file that I've seen in a few other youtube videos about "black screen" but that appears just to solve mod issues...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I did some digging and found this in the crash report folder. Although, I have made it crash before by clicking on the black area a few times. So I'm not sure that this is why it wont launch fully in the first place.
