Lucasbling

Hello. When I launch Tekkit Classic, it gives me a white screen instantly. I've uninstalled Technic Launcher and tried again, but to no avail. I am using Java 8, and Java 7 requires a special Oracle account to download (and it costs money). I'm sure I don't need Java 7, right? How can I fix this? Also, if this is in the wrong spot, can someone please relocate it?

Lucasbling I play on and off, but total I'd say about 9-12 months. Pretty familiar with it, yes. I've never been banned because I follow rules. Yes. It's been finally just over 2 years that I've been playing Minecraft. I can call myself an educated Minecrafter. (Once ran a Minecraft knowledge group).
