Are you sure you're not pointing to an older version of the launcher? In other words, you're running it directly and not relying on a shortcut or batch file? Next: Do you have an older version of the launcher anywhere that it might be targetting for whatever reason? Have you tried using the launcher .jar instead of the .exe?

...and then it will take longer to mod for 1.3.

Get a new copy of the launcher, back up your world (as if I should have to say that), and delete .techniclauncher\technicssp. Then try again.

'Scuse? Where has anyone ever said there's no help for people that make it past the Mojang screen? You just have to ask in the right place because we don't want to have to sort problems out more than we already do.

Learn how to change it. It will involve the use of your NVidia Control Panel.

Okay. Try the Tekkit Bug Board then, with a bunch more information and hopefully a server log and a launcher log from your client.

Perhaps not, but I'm fairly sure someone else would be willing to make and share LUA code for this exact purpose.

You should post a bug report, in the right section (there's even a button for that). Other post was deleted. However, keller'd on your 1st or 2nd post doesn't look good.

Update failed usually means an antivirus/firewall is blocking the launcher (looks fine in your case), or for whatever reason the .exe isn't working correctly. Have you tried the .jar? You didn't say.

3 things: 1) Your launcher is rather old. I'd go get the newest one. 2) Your Java is very old. Remove it, and get the newest one that works with a 32-bit OS such as yours. 3) If you run the launcher as a .jar, you can assign amount of memory to it that you want to use. The launcher also has its own internal settings.

No. There are dozens of threads just like this one, and some places outside this site even, that have detailed tutorials on how to run the launcher, especially if it doesn't work the first time. Learn how to make a batch file, then include java in it. It's not terribly time-consuming, but I've already over my personal limit, for the rest of my life, on number of people to explain it to.

Better yet, read the stickies before posting, and you won't have to use your spare time to do so.

Yes, for once, my sarcasm detector worked!

This would be fun. Anyone have a working nanobot design that could do it in the middle of the day?

Especially since it was Ishmael telling the story, and Ahab doing the chasing...and it didn't exactly end well.

He probably got a new copy of the launcher - his was very outdated.

Have you tried the .exe lately? I've had no issues with it while using 64-bit Win7 or Java.

I call troll.

It looks like you're running IDResolver a lot. I'm guessing the achievements system uses that to track achievement, since a lot of them have to do with items, so...

Read this.

Can you post a launcher log?

Install Microsoft's .NET Framework. And get rid of AVG, it will cause you nothing but headaches.

Read the stickies, especially this one. And 9 minutes is nowhere near long enough for any kind of bump, let alone one with no extra details.

You're the only person I've seen posting this recently, though there's always a first person when minecraft.net is having issues, or the Technic site is down. It just doesn't look like that's the issue right now. So: - You've definitely deleted the entire .techniclauncher folder? - You're 100% certain you have 64-bit Java to match your 64-bit OS ("java -version" in a command prompt will confirm this) - You tried running the .jar version of the launcher after the .exe didn't work?

If you're going to use "than" for comparison, you have to have a level of comparison. It says "Checking Launcher Version" more often than it doesn't do anything, perhaps?
