these are 2 logs with my game first: new launcher for windows 8: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/109214497174521682217/albums/6097906045200069329/6097906050888305218?pid=6097906050888305218&oid=109214497174521682217 next, the old launcher: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/109214497174521682217/albums/6097906045200069329/6097906140633075986?pid=6097906140633075986&oid=109214497174521682217 forge does not work with the new launcher, but does with the old.

I recently had a problem running all versions of Forge on my windows 8 laptop. I would get an error and the game would not load with the Forge profile. with further searching, I realized Microsoft designed Minecraft to run even without Java on windows 8. The new launcher does not load with Java, and thus the mods will not work. You have to download the old launcher to install Forge.
