Troubleshooting Minecraft game wont run has error message

Describe the problem

minecraft wont play

What have you tried?

I when to minecraft website to get help but could not figure out anything to fix it

I am attaching a copy of the log file from minecraft about why it wont run. Maybe this laptop is too old and it wont run on it but I am not sure. the log has the computer specs at the bottom of it...

The game was a bday present to my grandson who is 10 I was hoping it would run on this computer.

learnjavaonline.org or ntu.edu.sg/home/ehchua/programming/java/J2a_BasicsExercises.html you can find free content online. After that http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Basic_Modding there will be all minecraft source and what he needs. Read and exercise it is the key.

Their is also I read on amazon as recommendation with that other book a book to learn scratch. You think this would be of interest?

I personally think, if given enough dedication, any book can be interesting.
