Minecraft (modded 1.5.2) was running fine last night, now can't start.
Have reinstalled java, updated nvidia drivers, deleted .minecraft contents to force reinstallation, same error
can't run any version older than 1.6.1 as it leads to this crash, 1.6.1 and newer runs fine.
Looks like there was an issue with an older nvidia driver leading to the same, but with a much older driver than I have.

Found a possible answer here :
suggested workaround was to delete options.txt from .minecraft
this seems to have allowed me to run 1.5.2 vanilla, now to try BTW...
