I have the same problem. Minecraft works fine but when Forge is loaded it gives the video card driver error and fails to work. I HAVE the latest video card drivers for my video card. which is a part of my motherboard and cannot be removed. I am not in a position to just trot out to the store and buy a new video card as some might suggest. If Forge is to help all of the gaming community it should not just support rich players and require hardware updates to work. Is it possible to make Forge work without buying a new computer?

You are wonderful! Thank you for your help and prompt reply. I tried your suggestion and emptied the "mods" folder. When I started Minecraft with the empty "mods" folder we had the same problem. Everything looks like it should be working but when we try to make soldiers nothing happens. It is frustrating. I feel ignorant but I must ask how to make the forge file a ".jar" file. My file is [minecraftforge-universal-4.2.5.303] it is a WinRAR ZIP file not a ".jar" file unless they are considered to be the same thing. Is the .zip file a .jar file? I am embarrassed to ask such a question because it really parades my ignorance. Thank you for being patient with me and for offering the way to get "not enough items". My boys are excited because we feel certain that we can make this work. Thank you.

Thank you for answering so quickly. I used the link that you provided to instruct me in loading "Forge". I keep thinking that I'm doing something wrong so I repeat the process over and over. I think it may have been Einstein who said "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results". I am not insane, just ignorant! I can see two possible departures or questions with the instructions: 1) You state the the Forge mod is a "jar" mod. When I put the downloaded file in the "mods"folder it is in a "zip" file format. Is that a problem? I have even tried to unzip the contents of the archive into the mods folder but that didn't help. I have only the archive in the mods folder at this time. 2)At one time I had installed "modloader" to get "Too many items" to work. There are some modloader text files in the minecfaft folder but that is all. Do those files have to be deleted? The clean Minecraft .jar file has eliminated "Too many items" and any other mods we may have tried to use. My sons do not care about anything but your "Clay Soldiers" and I am failing them at being able to help them. I would be very grateful if you could give me a little guidance. Thank you.

When my son tries to mix the soulsand and clay nothing happens. There are no error messages and the screen information is as follows: Minecraft 1.3.2 FML v3.1.35.394 Minecraft Forge 4.2.5.303 2 mods loaded, 2 mods active I have forced Minecraft to load a clean .jar many times and followed the installation instructions by downloading the "Minecraftforge-universal-4.2.5.303 WinRAR ZIP file" and copying the files into the minecraft .jar, delete the Meta.inf and place the "Minecraftforge-universal-4.2.5.303" as the only file in the "mods" folder. When minecraft loads it says that Forge is setting up the environment and it loads the librarys. It appears that everything is working as it should be but it just does not work. The machine is running a 32 bit copy of Windows XP and has the very latest upgrade of 32 bit Java. The "options" say that it would work better with a 64 bit version of java but for now that is impossible. Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this? I am not fluent with "Forums" or "Forge" or even "Minecraft", I am just an "old goat" trying to fix this game for my boys because they love "Minecraft" and they think Clay Soldiers" is the very best mod.
