Despite making the Java update, the problem continues and I receive the same error message previously indicated.

The launcher cannot write to {{C:\Users\Brooke\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft}} - check if you have file write access rights there.
Your Java version is ancient! Please update your Java to the latest version (1.7.0_45): http://www.java.com/en/download/.
When using a 32-bit browser on a 64-bit operating system the automatic version detection will only show the 32-bit version of Java, the 64-bit version needs to be downloaded manually: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp.
Please report if the issue persists with the latest Java version.
