Minecraft won't work! :(
My laptop, which i have been using to play minecraft is broken, so i went to use my desktop computer, and i downloaded minecraft, but then i went to play it and the screen just went black. So i closed the window and then a notepad file popped up on the desktop titled "hs_err_pid3256" and it contains all the computer language of which i don't understand. I am using windows XP, which i think may be the problem... please help!
