I have Java version 7 update 40.
The launcher used to work until about a month ago, which is when this started happening. I have checked that it is not blocked, and I am on an ethernet cable.

Hi,
You need to reinstall Java.
First, go to the Programs and Features in Control Panel (Add and Remove Programs on XP). Uninstall everything that says Java in the name. Then, go to http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp re-install Java.
