Hi, I have Minecraft 1.7.4, stepped back to 1.7.2 as per an answer to an earlier question (Thanx again for that) and opened forge 10.12.0.1002 installer. Then I loaded Minecraft 1.7.2 and chose create new world. I created and it crashed. The crash report is below. What did I do wrong and how can I fix it? ---- Minecraft Crash Report ---- // Don't be sad. I'll do better next time, I promise!

Thanks!

I apologise if this is in the wrong forum, but I wasn't sure what it would come under. I bought Minecraft and downloaded 1.7.4 and then tried loading Forge but got the error message "You need to run the version 1.7.2 manually once." As your EAQ post says "This means that you have to run VANILLA minecraft (no mods) for the version listed before you can install Forge." Fine, but I have never owned an earlier version that I can run. Is there a way I can step Minecraft back to allow me to run 1.7.2 so I can use Forge? I am not very technical and I'm struggling with Windows 8 on my new laptop atm, so please be gentle with me. Many thanks
