OK, here's some stuff to try.

Go to your Roaming/.techniclauncher folder, see if it created a .jar file. If it did, great, just manually run that file and you are golden. If not, go to http://www.technicpack.net/download/ and manually download the .jar file from there (the option is Linux/JAR File). If it saves as a zip, just rename the extention from .zip to .jar and it'll be fine. Put that in the .techniclauncher folder and run it manually (use the Java Runtime option under "Open With") and you SHOULD be good.

Also, if you could, tell us what version of windows you are running and take a screenshot of that error and post it via imageshack so we can see it.

I am getting a “Technic Launcher has Stopped Working Error”!

If your launcher is encountering this error, a solution is to download the .jar file from http://www.technicpack.net/download/ (pick the third from the left (Linux/Jar)). If you are using Internet Explorer you will also need to change the file extension (the ending of the file) to .jar instead of .zip. Once you’ve done that, all you need to do is double-click on the file to run the launcher.

Troubleshoot:

Make sure your anti-virus and firewalls are disabled while trying to connect to minecraft.net (while logging in, connecting to a server)

Uninstall Java, then delete your .techniclauncher folder. Restart your computer (it's not required, but it never hurts to give it a break)

Reinstall the correct version of Java for your computer (ensure the bit type matches)

Redownload the Launcher.

Try to run the .exe, if this does not work, look in your .techniclauncher folder, make sure you have a .jar file in there.

If you do not, and the .exe doesn't work, do this:

If double click doesn't work with the .jar:

Right click on the .jar file, open with Java.

If none of those work, try running as administrator.
