Every time I try and load minecraft it crashes.
No info is given the window just disappears.
If I try and run the browser version it get's past done downloading, then just a black screen.
I'm running windows xp 64-bit sp2.
But it should be mentioned I had the same problem in 2008 serve on the same machine last week.
I couldn't get the video driver to work properly so I when back to xp.
I'm running the laites build of java 6.0_22 JRE and JDk.

The server runs fine and people can connect.
My media player is java based so I don't believe it's the cause.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
