Minecraft help pls
Yeah well I've been trying to play minecraft for a long time now but I keep getting bad video card drivers when I use the "cracked" version...
Apparently there's an easy fix for bad video card drivers if you use the official launcher, but I don't have a premium account to test out my computer...
Anyone willing to lend me their premium minecraft account? I'm testing if my computer can handle it well enough (since it's 6 years old) and if it EVEN runs...
THanksssssssssss
EDIT: Yeah so if anyone is willing to help, PM me their premium account name and pw... I'd LOVE you and give u TWO cookies instead of one!

[quote=WeenieBro]1) Rename 'Minecraft.exe' to 'Minecraft.jar'
2) Right-click on 'Minecraft.jar' and select "Create Shortcut" from the right-click menu. A new icon will appear.
3) Right-click on 'Shortcut to Minecraft.jar' and select "Properties".
4) In the 'Target' blank, you'll see something like this:
"Cocuments and Settingsyippie.skippyMy DocumentsDownloadsMineCraftMinecraft.jar"
Arrow all the way to the beginning and paste this:
java.exe -Xmx800m -jar
Now you should see:
java.exe -Xmx800m -jar "Cocuments and Settingsyippie.skippyMy DocumentsDownloadsMineCraftMinecraft.jar"
5) Click the 'Apply' button, then the 'OK' button.
6) Double-click the new shortcut, and start mining! And crafting![/quote]

^ o.O what kind of fix is that? and I doubt it will work... How does a browser affect minecraft's technical problems?
i use a cracked version mines fine
There's no difference. When I was playing the Cracked version, I bought the official one. It worked at the same speed, well for me anyhow.
does your java have an error like me? :O
^ I've tried that. it gave me pixel format not accelerated error -.-

Play the Classic version. It's free and pretty much uses the same memory as the original Minecraft

Well thats the thing I'm not sure if it will even run so I want to test it...
I'm pretty sure I can run if I do gamebooster... so...
What's your graphics card?
And you might not be able to run it... Minecraft uses a lot more resources than it looks.
