Try following the recommended install guide. That fixes a lot of problems. Be sure to take a look under the 'Other USEFUL Information' header as well. After that if you are still experiencing problems please post a console log in debug mode to pastebin.com and link to it here. Look here for more info about the logs.

you have two xmx flags, remove one of them (the second one): JVM Flags: 8 total; -Xms256M -Xmx1024M -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode -XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XXermSize=128m -Xmx512m

LWJGL errors are caused by java, so remove that second arguement and see if it fixes it. Also, make sure you have the 32bit version of Java, and only one version installed. After you do that try again and post an updated log if it doesn't work.

 

[nanaki]

sorry how do i remove it?

 

[Staxed]

sorry how do i remove it?

the same way you added it, except in reverse?

have you added JVM arguements in the options tab in the launcher?

 

[nanaki]

o if i delete that line i get java virtual machine wont load??

 

[nanaki]

any ideas?

 

[lavarthan]

Does the game work without the parameters? You said that you went through the guide, but you later say that you removed the parameters. If you followed the guide you would have had to add the parameters again. When you removed the parameters did you remove just that part of all of the parameters?

If removing the parameters does not work. Please flush out/delete your system of all Java versions, the launcher and the packs and follow the guide exactly. Do not add the parameters just yet, try it without the parameters first. If it crashes get a pastebin of the console log after it crashes and link it here. Look here if you need help remembering which log is which.

If it works without the parameters it is probably the parameters you are adding. The guide that I know of for parameters is for systems with 4+GB of RAM and I'm pretty sure your system does not have more than 4GB. Here is the link about the parameters if you want to look at it.

ok fresh install following the guide to the letter without any parameters.

i get a windows error box with following message:

error:could not create the java virtual machine
error:a fatal exception has occured. program will exit.

i have done a pastebin of the log from the console in debug mode. http://pastebin.com/7sDPi3Vx

 

[nanaki]

ok so i followed the guide to install abit more and at the bottom it says if you are getting heap errors try to add the parameter.i have added this and it then goes through the ftb logo appearing and start to load the game then i get the following error in the console

Does vanilla work without any problems or does it crash with the same error? How about Unhinged (1.5.2) or Ultimate (1.4.7)? I'm hoping it is just Unleashed. If Unhinged works you might be able to copy over some of the minecraft files to fix the part mentioned below.

Try updating your lwjgl files to see if it fixes it. Normally I'd suggest this if you are playing on a Mac, but it might work for you. Look here for the guide to do this. Change all references to the %AppData% folder to the Unleashed mod pack folder. Each folder has its own lwjgl files.

The error in the second log according to Mojang is caused by an AV program that does not allow some minecraft files to download. Check out the 'Other USEFUL Information:' first paragraph about AV programs. Try adding the mod pack folder to the exceptions list of your AV if it has one. Then try temporarily disabling the AV. If you still get this error you may have to try what is listed in the guide, in other words uninstall your AV temporarily. I hope you do not have to go that far. Try force updating after each step of disabling your AV further.

Edit: If you get any other errors please pastebin them so we can look at them. Also after you add the exceptions try a force update this will save you the trouble of deleting everything.
Edit2: I cannot tell since the log does not show them in this error, did you add any extra mods. If so does the mod pack work without them? Also if you did add any mods make sure they are for 1.5.2 and not 1.6.x or 1.4.7

 

[nanaki]

vanilla gives same error message. every version of minecraft i try gives the error. ive tried the updated lwjgl and this didnt resolve. ive tried even stopping my antivirus and also making the ftb folder and minecraft folder exceptions.
i havent added anything else to the unleashed pack.
forced updated without antivirus active and with exceptions in place.

still get this http://pastebin.com/FBp32QZ1

2013-10-07 01:30:58 [INFO] [Minecraft-Client] LWJGL Version: 2.4.2

Unless this is an old pastebin you did not update your lwjgl in the mod pack folder.

ok so i followed the guide to install abit more

Please follow the guide carefully and do all the steps. There are things in there that are key. Such as making sure that older versions of Java are not also installed and removing the traces of the older versions. I cannot remember which version of Java it was, but one of the versions of 6 (iirc, it might have been 7 even) left some files and it was required to hunt them down and delete them before Java could be truly updated. Good luck. If you get any other errors please pastebin them.

 

[nanaki]

there are no older versions of java the reason i know this is because i only started getting these issues with minecraft after i wiped my hard drive clean and installed a new version of windows. so i only have the version of java i have downloaded which is straight from their website. i have followed the guide every step. and yes sorry it was an old pastebin this is a current one. http://pastebin.com/5dM9mahT. im lost and dont know what to do. my av worked fine with minecraft before i wiped my computer.

 

[lavarthan]

Not sure if this will be useful, but I did find something at Mojang's help. According to Mojang this is caused by a bad (old) video card driver. Here is where I found the error, this is the link that was provided to fix the error. Hope it helps.

 

[nanaki]

thank you so much for all your help lavarthan that last one worked damn video card. i am sure i updated it all but it seems it wast fully upto date thank you
