Technic Launcher Updater encountered a problem? .jar freezes on the minecraft loading page? Help!

[Mrmikeman2]

Launcher Version: Newest

Operating System: Windows XP 32bit

Java Version: Recommended version

Antivirus Program: None constantly active. Only cleaners for occasional use.

Description of Problem:

When I open the Launcher.exe I get an error that says "Technic Launcher Updater Encountered an Error". After researching this on the forum, I didn't find too much about this happening to others. I then re-downloaded the launcher multiple times, as did I update Java. Still didn't work. Found something about trying the .jar version instead. After putting it in my .minecraft folder, I logged in. Everything seemed fine, but on the Minecraft Loading page, it freezes on "Done" every time. Tried cleaning my bin and trying it again, but it still froze. I deleted the METAINF file in hopes that might help, but no luck. I re-downloaded the .jar a few times to no avail. Anyone have a clue what could possibly be going wrong? I checked in my .technic file thing, but it was empty.

Error Messages:

When running the launcher - Technic Launcher Updater has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. (Displayed on Microsofts "Send Error Report" pop-up."

Error Log:

Folder is empty.

You're running a 32-bit OS, and the launcher .exe sometimes doesn't cooperate. Run the .jar directly with Java. Delete the .exe version.
