I don't know what the problem is sorry, there are probably other threads about this, all i can tell you now is have you tried redownloading the launcher, rebooting your pc or deleting the .techniclauncher folder. That normally works for me. I have 2 antiviruses because one is antivirus the other is firewall and antivirus. Also, i discovered my firewall was on high security, i set it to medium and now the launcher works fine... mostly.

FIXED IT FIXED IT FIXED IT! It was an antivirus or firewall problem. I did turn them off before but for some reason this time it worked. I am guessing i did it wrong. I do have 2 antivirus programs, i went through and completely disabled every firewall program i could see and then went into task manager and cleared there too. In other words i disabling my antivirus and firewall didn't work but i had to entirely reset it. Thanks so much for your help over the past few weeks guys but i can't help feeling after that i have kinda wasted your time (after it being firewall and antivirus after all, I think the program stopping it launching was my firewall zonealarm which i think is kinda an agressive firewall)so i guess i owe you a few hours back (guess you could come and take them off me in like 60 years or whatever XD) . P.S.- just discovered that as soon as firewall was re-enabled, i got 'could not connect to minecraft.net' problem again which was the source of the problem in the first place. Guess i will have to start playing with no firewall then. :P

does restoring to factory settings delete my data? Or just reset hardware and software and stuff. If it helps. My computer is pretty buggy itself, it blue screen 'o' deaths occasionally and it says kdbsync (or kbdsync dunno which) has stopped working. Also i had to disable my wifi port miniadapter as that was causing it to blue screen too. the miniport adapter does not affect my wifi or internet connection, so i'm a bit confused as to what it does. Technic was however still working after this and then stopped. Is that any help to anyone?

jarfix not work for me still the same. sigh.

yeah i haven't had time to carry to a friends house . And EzioA, i have the most on offer here at the moment from any isp, No fibre optics are available either. The exchange receives 24mb/s, that is then split many times, there is then a long inefficient of about 3 miles to my tiny unwanted, rejected, throwback of a village that i call my home. That is how i get my cruddy speed. There is a slight possibility that we may be able to swap cables to the exchange in another village near here with 8mb/s. Also, i understood nothing. Are you sure this will work? Have you tried it? I don't really want to reinstall my OS either, too much hassle, as i have nothing to back ny pc up onto and it will take hours, or at least until i know that's the only solution. I know I am not really helping my self though. Can anyone explain to me why my computer is refusing to start the program? I know it is because of mirrors but what is causing it?

No, steam is fine, if it is affected its due to our ridiculous download speed. The p2p sharing shouldn't matter as technic has worked for ages before but suddenly stopped. P.S.- due to the faulty cable, my download speed is between 0.1-0.2mb/s, its normally just under 1 mb/s.

ok, talk talk, they said they would fix the cable within 48 hours.

<-- derp. what's an isp? Also misanthropictear, it doesn't really sound like you particularly want help, i don't particularly want to get involved but please, take it somewhere else. Thanks.

hahahaha funny, you used about every single political term there is. i'm not using an old launcher as far as i know. no java updates work, my error report talks about mirrors not getting where they need or something, as i said my internet cable is damaged we discovered, the dudes are fixing it soon so i will try again when it's fixed. I still only have about 0.5mb/s of broadband though anyway. :P

we recently discovered there is a fault on my internet line, this means really slow for everything until the dudes come to fix it, maybe why my error report talked about the mirrors being all wrong or something and why it can't connect, the latest version of java 6 says what my last message says so i'm kinda screwed. please help before i suffocate in my own misery...

Thanks again, new problem, i'm trying all the solutions, the java 6 thing first but it says this: jre-6u34-windows-x64.exe is not a valid win32 application. It says on the oracle website that this means i am trying to install a 64 bit item onto a 32 bit pc, this is not true, i am installing the correct version on the correct machine (installing 64 bit onto a 64 bit pc) so i have no idea what it's talking about! please help...again! p.s.- i swear computers hate me :(

Thanks again for the help guys, my phone is apple I'm afraid, so...uh...sorry, I will also try the java thing too, i'll let you know how I get on. See you then!

Will do, also could you write me a tutorial for the tether thing? that would be really useful, thanks.

Sigh. Can people really not accept an apology? I know it did not excuse my rule breaking, i did in fact apologise for it and acknowledge my mistake. Please reread my last post, it says I do not want to be hated on for my post, I tried very hard to write a formal apology and to clear my name, please, I know you laugh and make fun of rule breakers, I have a sense of humour and found that amusing, but I apologised for my tiny barely notable mistake and all it did was blow up in my face, what kind of people laugh at minute errors that have been accounted for and with an apology which has been put in place in hope to make amends for it. I came here for support and got hatemail and I know you don't care what I want, however all I ask is that we try and keep this a pleasant atmosphere for everyone. In other words, please can we forget this pathetic argument and start a fresh, move on! I tried to be mature and apologise rather than fight back and that didn't get me anywhere, I tried to end his ages ago, why can you not follow suit? I now know what a bump is, I thought it was a post which caused a bug report to move to the top of the list. I will now use the edit button, thank you. Electrobrandino, thanks for your support I will try that and report back then, time to flex muscles and carry to friends house, however, my pc is wireless, would connecting it with a cable help? Thanks in advance.

One more thing, please don't hate on me for my last post, I did what I felt had to be done just to clear my name and sort a few things out. I would just like peace on this thread. I never meant to say anything negative or to annoy or attack anyone personally I am sorry some of you may have taken it that way. Thank you.
