What do I do? My launcher seems to be broken (the old one) i used to play it all the time but then i went on one time and it was just a black screen so i got the new one but i miss the old one
Why do you miss the old launcher? You spend only seconds on the launcher, so it doesn't affect gameplay, and you need the new launcher to be able to play any version from 1.6 and on. Also, when did the old one start giving you a black screen? Were you trying to play an unsupported version on it?

I was just trying to put a mod on it and all the sudden, Boom! Black screen! i cleared the .minecraft but still nothing it also affects all of the other java things (except the new launcher)
It's possible that you're not removing the META-INF folder in the .jar file. The META-INF must be removed when installing mods, else you'll just get a black screen when you launch the game.

This is version dependant, i believe in 1.5 the system changed and only the files with MOJANG in their names should be deleted, not the whole folder.
Earlier than 1.5 the whole folder was deleted.

Same thing has happened to me. I have not been able to play online all day and I am stuck with the damn Steve skin. Grr. I am going to have my fiance look at it tomorrow. I wasn't even trying to add a mod. It just happened. Hope you get it fixed. If I find anything out I will let you know, OP.
