Fair enough.
Also yeah I suppose 4 days is a bit of a long time too for such, I hadn't noticed.
I put together my trouble shooting guide after having so many people ask basic trouble shooting questions or not fully explaining their problems (ex: i no werk, wut do).
It's much easier to put the common problems I encounter in a section of the guide. Granted, this is all on the assumption that people read it.
Regardless, the entire first page is what I will always suggest first. Reason: if the problem persists through a clean re-install of both Java and the launcher, then there really is a problem. More often than not, I've seen, many problems are just wrong versions of one thing or another, or persisting problems with the launcher (ex: the download taking too long, so it stops)
I don't know what you mean? I have a crash report saved but that's all?
Program logs are files that are generated when you run a program. When you run your launcher, several logs are generated. A launcher log (not usually much help) and a console log (usually bunches of help). When you "launch" minecraft through the launcher, added logs (ForgeModLoader and Minecraft) are also generated. These logs show us how the game started, and if any mods had issues on start up.
When asking for help relating to launcher problems, it is always best to:
Open your launcher
Select the "Options" tab
In the Options make sure the box next to 'Show Console' is checked.
Close your launcher, and start it again. At this time, copy the contents of the console (it will pop up with your launcher) and put it in a paste file on pastebin.com.
Note: sometimes pastebin has problems letting pastes save when you don't log in to an account. Creating an account almost always fixes this problem.
Any time someone asks for a log, your best bet is to give the console log, unless a different log is otherwise requested. (and if it is, don't hesitate to ask where you can find the correct log)
Any time you EVER get a crash report, put it on pastebin, and save the link to that paste. That will also be handy
