After buying a new gaming laptop and picking up minecraft again (after 4 years), I have not encountered too many problems, emphasis on "too". After receiving the java (TM) SE binary platform error and failing to fix it, I decided to re-install minecraft and its installer. After downloading and booting up minecraft I receive this message: "Unable to start minecraft runtime environment. This is most likely caused by a corruption. Please re-install minecraft". Logically, I in the time span of five minutes, download, re-install and boot minecraft about 5,000,000 times (none of the times working, obliviously). After realizing I was insane according to Voss AND Einstein (my two biggest role-models), I get down to business and try to fix it. I try running it as an administrator, deleting the minecraft folder frome %appdata%, and I try to run the old java launcher but I discover that I don't have java installed. I tried to download the online, offline, 32 bit, 64 bit and every version in between and I get the same error message: Error: could not create java virtual machine A fatal error has occurred. I get error 1603. I find a tutorial telling me to create a enviroment variable called _JAVA_OPTIONS with a value of Xms612M (or XMS512M, I don't remember), doesn't work.
