Try deleting minecraft/custom_jar.jar (right click the profile -> View folder) and afterwards, force updating (also on right click). Other things to try: I don't expect this to fix it, but go to Options and change PermGen to 256 Delete the profile entirely and re-download
If you allocated 2 gigs to it, then I'm stumped. I had a similar problem on my mac until I gave it more RAM. Are you on a 64-bit architecture or 32-bit, and do you have 64-bit java or 32-bit? The launcher (or OS, or Java, or whatever else) refuses to allocate memory unless you are 64-bit on windows (but other OSes don't care).
