well actually i solved the problem by, deleting all java's restarting comp, installing the java update you guys said to, and then it still didn't work, so i reinstalled it again, still didn't work. Even though i ran everything as an admin, what i had to do was disable my firewall and me anti-virus in order to get it to install. I also had added it to my firewall exceptions as well as my anti-virus exceptions prior to having to turn them off. But now it works kind of, still has problems connecting to tip.it for item prices and what not, but atleast it works now.
