The program lets me get to the login page and then just goes black and never runs. If it crashes (most times it locks up and never does anything and I have to use Task Manager to shut it down) I get the Java Exception_Access_Violation error mentioned in other threads. I am on an updated Windows XP system and with no changes from 3 days ago when everything did run to today having this problem.
I have remove Java, removed Minecraft. Shut down. Started back up. Installed the latest/correct version of Java. Installed Minecraft. Same problem.
Did the debugging, with WOMClient, works fine. (WTF!!!???)
So I tried the last step of running the WOMClient at command line (java -D32 -jar World of Minecraft.exe) and again fine.
So I ran the command line but this time with 'java -D32 -jar MINECRAFT.exe' with the same minecraft.exe I have been using, and.... it works!!  ????

Now I have no idea what the command line does but I am guessing that it is forcing java to work in 32bit? If so is there a way I can do this from just running the minecraft.exe or a short cut to be able to do this same command instead of having to open the cmd and then typing 'java -D32 -jar minecraft.exe' to run the game?

Thanks  in advance.

Black screen?

Sounds like what is happening to one of my school friends with his laptop.
 
Try the following:

  • Re-install java COMPLETELY.
  • Delete your .minecraft (backup your saves first) and COMPLETELY re-download it.
If that doesn't work, no clue :P sorry.
