and everything HAS to be a problem. so current version works fine. but i need 1.6.4 to work.... but that just makes the game shut off upon launching....annnnnnnnnd according to the rules i can't get help for that here since it's old. where could i go to get help if help is not offered here?

son of a ********************************************...... i can't believe it was something THAT dumb as not selecting forge in the version select....thankies a bunch.

this screenshot has already been given i think. not sure what you mean by "forge minecraft" though. because not being able to do that is my problem.

alright, here is a side by side of the launcher, the main menu, and the options menu. http://cookiesnmi1k.deviantart.com/art/second-screenshot-586413976?ga_submit_new=10%253A1453642749

i am aware of this. but, nothing happens no matter what version i choose. unless i'm looking in the wrong place. so then in case i'm doing something wrong, what SHOULD change in game if it's working properly?

http://cookiesnmi1k.deviantart.com/art/screenshot-586279122?ga_submit_new=10%253A1453587937 couldn't figure out how to post image, so i submitted it to deviantart and gave you a link to the submission. is this screenshot what you needed?

edit: this is the log for the current version test i do believe. if it's not, then i'll post another one.

as stated, i tried it on current minecraft and it didn't work either. read the entire post please?

So i installed forge, set up my desired mc version (1.6.4) and while there WAS a "forge" selection in the launcher, there WASN'T a "mods" button ingame like i remember there being when i used this program years ago. nor did my mod turn on. now, just for the sake of testing, i tried again with a different minecraft version, the current one. and once again, no mod button. HOWEVER, the installation DID finish. and it DID tell me "forge is installed" or whatever. so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. edit: AFTER this failed, i attempted to go in and do a manual mod installation. this too did not work.
