if its like freezing at the update screen i can tell u what to do, instead of naming the 1.8 whatever u name it, name it minecraft18
then when u put it in the folder that ur suppose to put it in, rename it while it is in the folder back to minecraft and it willwork, it must be like some weird glitch

Don't stress out too much, It's not THAT big of a deal. The leaked version has many, many bugs. It also lowers your framerate. (Say you had 100+FPS in 1.7.3, Now you have 20FPS) Hopefully, Notch will make it less laggy. Just wait.

st christmas this is for ur old server p.s. this is poke

I, too, have Windows 7 x64. I'm not having any troubles.
You may have installed the .jar wrong. Only thing I can see going wrong here.

Other than that, I'd say do a force update, get the new .jar, and replace just the older minecraft.jar (and not any other .jar)

I got windows 7.. works for me

hey i know that this is off subject and random but how do i post something cuase im new and have no idea how

i have windows 7 and i am not getting any problems

Lol I love your avatar ZaphodX

Update your java to newest version. Try a clean re-install.

We cant help without more information about what happens and why it isn't working.

Script_BuilderThe title says it, dang it! I guess I'll have to go on 1.8 Pre 1 untill 1.8 Pre 3 or the actual 1.8 comes out

I works for me, I have windows 7!

Yea running Windows 7 32 bit

still waiting on how its not working lol else i cant help you

Sorry, not working , ah nvm. I can play in 1.8 Pre 1 and wait

reply did you try to use the too many items

I have solved this problem.

1. Replace the minecraft.jar in your bin folder (go to : C:\User\insertuserhere\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\bin) and replace the minecraft.jar currently in there with the 1.8 Pre-release minecraft.jar.
2. Make sure that when you put in the 1.8 minecraft.jar that you call it minecraft.
3. Then run the game in offline mode! Voila! You can play

@Jazxx3 Is their a way to get Java 7? I can live with playing in Pre1 waiting for 1.8

Um You dont have java 7 thats why .. Fail bro.,.

what are you having problems with it in details

1 is your java ok
2 is your mc install ok
3 is your issue just getting it to run what errors are you getting
4 do you use a .bat file to get it running whit other attributes

@superjack010 It isn't for me. Others also say their having problems with 1.8pre2 on Windows 7, If you know how to make it work, how do I?
