Trouble with the launcher

[Palone]

About halfway through the downloading of the Mod Pack, it just finishes instantly and goes to the Minecraft menu. But it's vanilla Minecraft without any mods on it. I tried to download it four times and they all just instantly finished halfway through and went straight to vanilla Minecraft. Please help me, I really want to play FTB =[


Here are my computer's terrible stats: I have Java 6

Java version?

 

[Palone]

Java 6

 

[Ashzification]

Get Java 7

 

[Meldiron]

What file path are you running the launcher from?

 

[Palone]

What do you mean "file path"?

 

[Meldiron]

If you right click on your launcher file and choose properties there should come a window where one of the shown pieces of information is "Location".
It should look something like this "C:\Program Files\Java" but with other names, could you copy that and paste it here?

Alternatively make a folder named FTB directly on the C drive, download the newest launcher from the FTB site and try to launch it from that folder to see if you still have the same problems.

 

[Ashzification]

Make sure all firewalls and AVs have set the launcher to enable, or are disabled/turned off.

 

[Palone]

I have tried to download it many times, but the same thing happens every time. I have Java 7 now and I placed the launcher in my C drive but it still doesn't work.

My file path is C:\Documents and Settings\Dell\Desktop for when it's on my desktop and
just C:\ for when it's in my C drive.

After it goes to the vanilla Minecraft launcher an error report comes up, this is what it says:

That tells me Java can't write to registries, or the registry it's trying to write to does not exist. Try running as admin.

 

[Palone]

There is only one account on my computer, so I am already computer admin =[

 

[Ashzification]

Still, try running it as admin.

 

[Palone]

How do I do that?

 

[Ashzification]

Right click the Application and choose run as admin.

 

[Palone]

There isn't a "run" option when I right click

 

[Ashzification]

Right click on FTB_Launcher.exe/.jar
Second Option down should be Run as Administrator.

I'm only suggesting this to rule some ideas out.

 

[Palone]

There is no "run" option, my computer is old so that might be why.

 

[Ashzification]

You may need to update your LWJGL.
Use this for some help with that: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Update_LWJGL

 

[Palone]

I noticed I do have the "Run as" option for regular Minecraft but not for the launcher

 

[Meldiron]

Just curious, have you increased the max memory seting in the launcher to over 1GB?
