    Whenever I try to launch the game the launcher screen closes for a split second and then comes back up, so I clicked the option to show messages and errors and what I got was:

    Process ended with code 1
    Minecraft is no longer running! Click 'Close Window' to close this window.
    Did you know: In 'Options', under 'Environment', you can disable this window from appearing.
    Error occurred during initialization of VM
    Could not reserve enough space for object heap
    Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
    Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

    Try allocating less memory to the launcher, and see if that works.

    It seems to have worked for now but do you know what the original setting is? I changed it and don't remember what it used to be when it was working.

    I think the default is something like 128 & 512? But I'm not entirely sure because mine is set to 128 & 1024 at default.

    You need to either install 64-bit Java or lower memory settings.

    The error commonly means that you are trying to use more memory than a 32-bit process can handle.
