My forge realy never worked... I even got a new computer, but it still doesn't work ! I got a new mod installer and tried it out... it let me choose Forge, or Mod loader. so i chose forge knowing its better. when i opened minecraft and logged in it showed the little box thing and started setting it up. but after about 20 secs. it said something like: ERROR: look in this directory: (im not telling u it its my minecraft folder for the forge log). and this is what it says:
