You may need to download the newest version of Java for minecraft to work. Or maybe your computer can not handle it.

Yes, you will need Java. I recommend installing the latest version of Java, JRE7, which I have provided a download link to it on Oracle's site just on the development of JRE7, it will highly increase Minecraft's performance. Also, Minecraft is coded in the Java language. It must be read with a Java program, and in your task manager, Minecraft is "javaw.exe" so a big yes!
Not at all. Minecraft REQUIRES Java. If you don't have it, sorry! It is also important when downloading Java to play Minecraft to understand whether you need the 32-bit or 64-bit version for your computer.
