So you want to play in 1.7.3 or is that a mistake?

I can't really play anything but I want to play 1.7.4 because it came out just a little while ago but nothing is working

Try allowing both Minecraft and Javaw.exe through your firewall. Looks like some files are failing to download, and this can usually be fixed by allowing MC through your firewall.

Thanks my minecraft is finally working "phew"
