Big issue playing forge minecraft, Regular ol' minecraft works fine! everythings okay there however i really need optifine working with it and such like itself sooo i use forge because there are other mods i need too, a few days later i was playing a game and i got off like normal, turned off my computer, went to bed, woke up, played another game then... forge just decides not to load! the one time it actually gave me a message saying i was having an issue it sent me a link to get it downloaded, but it gave me some random stuff ??

Little  help please? i REALLY need this working!
NOTE: i don't believe it would work even if i used other versions of forge but mainly because i'm using this version because i need to use this version! thanks for understanding and if you can help in any way i'd appreciate it greatly!
