Try re-installing the launcher.

Try re-installing the launcher.

I've done tried that, it will only let me play offline says can't connect to server

Firstly, please try re-installing Java. Go to Programs and Features in Control Panel and uninstall everything with 'Java' in the name. Next, grab the latest version of Java from http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
If this doesn't solve the issue, what antivirus software do you have?

I had this problem. It seems as if you're trying to update to a newer version. Try reinstalling Java
