When I try to start Minecraft on any version, it comes up with an error message saying
"Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will now exit."
Some things that I think are notable are I have played the version of the game I was trying to run just yesterday and the game will always get stuck on downloading one of the components (will take about 5 seconds).
