I have not used Minecraft for a month of more... so ran the old Java Launcher and it gave the error: Load Library failed error 126; the specified module could not be found.
Now i uninstalled my minecraft and launcher. Rebooted the computer and then downloaded straight from Mincraft.net. reinstalled and got the same message. Nor can i run older versions of minecraft.
