So I fiddled around. got java 7 etc etc.I downloaded forge too to make sure its up to date. but when I click play the game wont even start. it loads then nothing, just staring at my desktop. it runs normal but with forge it just refuses to start. what am I doing wrong?

that is no help whatsoever and dont know why you even bothered posting that

oh ok so sorry about that. So what AM I looking for specifically? what information?

how do I fix the file permissions?

I DO have java 7 installed....I keep hearing its java's fault but I already have it installed. I went to the programs folder, found java 7. copied and pasted it in profile editor. it just loads and the launcher just doesnt do anything. what's wrong with it?

does it mean anything that my launcher version is 1.6.11?

It didnt change a thing

I cant even find the download....

it worked once but now its doing it again but I realized I installed 1.7.4 optifine which made it worse again so its good
