    Hey guys,

    Posting this for my roommate. We've updated the client and the JRE and he is still getting crashes to desktop ("minecraft has stopped working"). Ive tried numerous different things that could fix it (ie: deleting the roaming/appdata/.minecraft folder) I can't think of much else. Is this an isolated incident...? anythoughts? It happens about 3-5min into gameplay.

    It coudlnt connect to server. But for some reason he changed the security so that all users could access (the minecraft folder). It was weird. But thanks for the input :)

    Maybe you could try playing a different game. That should stop Minecraft from having any problems whatsoever as it won't even be open.

    Try running Minecraft with this:
    Code: 
    java -Xms650m -jar "%AppData%\.minecraft\minecraft.exe"
    It lessened slowdowns for me and for 2 other friends. Maybe it will fix the crashes you're getting.
