Please fix the error and restart.



I have tried deleting and re-installing. I checked the .minecraft folder and saw nothing in it. I deleted the folder and re-downloaded everything and still I got the error and an empty .minecraft folder. Please help

span> can you check your computers system time and make sure its correct

Like the actual clock time?

If so, yes it is correct

span>in that case can you post the complete crash report

i have tried re-install java.

I now opened the launcher and something different pops up. This is copied and pasted straight from the launcher:

Please fix the error and restart.

Make sure no antivirus software or firewalls are blocking minecraft or java

and have a look at this http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/kb/socketexception-unrecognized-windows-sockets-error-04/

I took down windows firewall and defender. I also disabled McAfee. This did not work and I got the same error

I figured it out!

All i had to do is install java from this link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1880261.html
