Java7 fixes server, but breaks technic and vanilla launcher

[teamplur]

Launcher Ver Latest

OS Win7 64bit

Java Ver 7 latest 64bit

Problem:Hey all. So I followed the advice from the sticky above to install java7 to fix the unsupported major.minor error in my server. So after the install, the server was fine. but then any time i loaded the technic launcher, or even the vanilla launcher, neither one could make any network connections. The technic launcher would say that the technic tubler is down (where it usually says 'good evening player') and the log in would say 'couldn't connect to minecraft.net'. The vanilla launcher would not show the news and also couldn't connect to log in. I now removed java7 completely and updated java6 to patch 31 (i was at 29 before). So now vanilla and technic launcher work, but the server is back to the major.minor error.

The pastebin below is after i removed 1.7 so not sure if the relevent info is there. if needed i can put back java7 and try it again so i can get a better log. otherwise if there is something specific i can do to get the launchers using java6 only. I couldn't quite get it do that from the java control panel.

EDIT: the guys over at #minecrafthelp suggested I need to remove Java 6 then update to Java 7. Sounds reasonable so I'll try that in a bit. If that fixes it I' update this post. For now i'm putting the baby to sleep. I'll take any additional suggestions in the mean time :-)

Hate to bump or double post but this dropped to page 2 and an edit wasn't gonna bring it back. Anyways, I went back, removed all old editions of java. reinstalled java7 64 bit, and tried the launcher again. It it still not working with java7. Same error about can't connect to minecraft and the tumble feed being down.

here's a bit of the log file from my last attempt.
