I bought  2Mak07 a new comp for his birthday . Well, almost new.
HP 2000-299WM notebook T3500 2.10 GHz Processor, upgraded to 4 Gigs of DDR 3.
Intel integrated graphics.
Running windows 7 with Avast antivirus.
Using Firefox ( tho I also tried internet exploder..)
When I downloaded Minecraft I had 2 issues.
1. Could not connect to serve r(from minecraft.com)
2. Picked play online.. black screen.

Went to app data/ roaming/ deleted minecraft files..
same thing..

Each time the result is the same.. if online, gets to about 90% and stops, tho it says it is done downloading.. if download opens to black screen.
What I have tried:
Deleted files as per above.. no good.
udpdated drivers.. no good
deleted and reinstalled Java.. no good
deleted files each time there was a fail.
Got one java error, fixed that and resumed all above steps with same results.
Java says we have latest Java
Intel says we have latest drivers.
Classic runs ok.. =(

Does anyone know how to fix this demon??
Thanks in advance.
