Apologies if this is the wrong area for this.

So, I've been uber excited for 1.8 coming out. Finally, the day has come!

I download it and everything, and this happens:



It completely freezes up on me when the main menu loads up and, as you can see, the background of the main menu is all screwed up.

Seeing how there's nothing I can do, I just click out of it and get this in my launcher:

I've deleted Minecraft and reinstalled it, but the same thing happens...

Is it just because my computer is outdated (Windows XP laptop that isn't great), or is there something else wrong?
