upload a zip of your forge.cfg file to somewhere.

My forge.cfg is empty... Is that normal? I restarted my laptop and then forge refused to work, even when I made a new forge minecraft.jar.

No its not normal, and its not empty, at least it shouldn't be.

It my be 'invisible' characters. So unless the filesize is 0 bytes.

I highlighted it and it showed up as a whole line of spaces, and it's size is 1 KB. Is it in the config folder in .minecraft?

Yes can you please do as I freakin ask and upload the damn file?

Okay, I did: http://www.mediafire.com/?86j420r4c7d40m3

Interesting.. this honestly looks like a bit of harddrive corruption. Something caused your file to be filled with nulls.

 

Delete the file and reload the game.

Thanks! That worked!
