I'm not good at reading crash reports, but I'll try my best.

It seems that you're running Windows XP, not Windows 7. Do you have the Latest Java installed?

Im not running Windows XP im running windows 7 i think i set it to run on compatible with windows xp and i have the latest java installed

From what I gathered, here are some ideas.


1. Turn off Windows XP compatibility then, see if that will change anything.



2. According to this, it may be a problem with your video card drivers.Check what brand your card is and update accordingly

3. Updating to 1.7.10 or latest Minecraft is something you should do as well, especially how you are running 1.7.4.

17.4 has that problem you need to uptade you'r minecraft to 1.8 or buy a new minecraft.

You don't need to buy a new minecraft account for updating.

Something else to check: You're running 32 bit windows (at least that's what java thinks). Is your java 32 bit or 64 bit? Are you actually running 32 bit, or is it something in your compatibility settings? Compatibility mode shouldn't be needed. I run Minecraft (1.6.4, 1.7.10 and 1.8) in both Windows 7 and Windows 8 without using any compatibility mode. The point is, make sure both your OS and your java version are the same, as far as 32 bit or 64 bit goes.

Most of the things I would try are scattered through the posts by other members...

First Java, is it up to date? make sure its 64 bit if you have 64, and 32 bit if you have a 32 system...

Next I would update your Graphics card drivers...

Versions don't matter unless it did work on a past version... if so let us know!

Hope this helps
