Did you search your error on google?

go on the minecraft forums, which has a support section that can help you a lot more than any of us.

not only that, but you've given us like no information about your computer or what you do to create the problem.

Let's see: I'm running Windows XP, and all I've done is downloaded the .exe file and run it. Then I get the error.

go verify your java installation.

if it's outdated or installed wrong it will tell you to do it again and give you a link to the newest version
