This may be a longer explanation, but here it goes.
I play minecraft at home with my sons, but we do not have the internet. So I downlaod minecraft at work and bring it home on my usb drive. This has worked for quite a while.
I was playing Minecraft just recently with java 6. and minecraft launcher 1.3.10. I recetnly brought my computer to work and updated java to the most recent, 7 update 51. I also downloaded updates to my OS, Win 7, 64bit, and updated my videocard, Geforece 9800gtx+. I installed a couple video games aslo, fixing a Steam issue.
After this I went to check out the technic launcer. The executable started, but did not go past the logo appearing on the desktop.
After messing with this a little, I tried Minecraft.
This window closes and the launcher opens to the mainscreen, but nothing loads. The window shows a gray screen, no text at all. No buttons or tabs work. At the bottom it says "welcome, guest. Please log in" but nothing happens. My computer runs very sluggishly for about 1 to 2 minutes, then speeds back up and I can then force the launcher window to close; Minecraft will not launch at all.
I checked under "control panel" at the Java settings and it shows the 64bit verson of Java 7 update 51.
I just was messing around with the launcher window and just as I closed it the graphics and links appeared. I reopened the launcher, but still the same gray window and lag.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
