So this is what happened:

I used to run a 1.5.2 cracked free version of minecraft, until my friend gave me his legit account.

So I installed the 1.7.2 version, and it worked fine. Then I tried to download Aether II mod from TheGamingRehab's .zip and it blackscreens after the mojang splash.

tl;dr: My screen goes black after mojang splash.

Also, if someone could provide me with a working Aether II mod, it would be greatly appreciated.

So how would I downgrade to 1.6.2?

I don't see new profile anywhere.

bottom left corner of the main launcher screen

Turns out I was using an outdated minecraft launcher, so that option didn't appear.
Anyways, now I'm running 1.6.2, but the launcher does literally nothing. No error screen, nothing. Even when I open Task Manager nothing shows. I've also tried dragging into the .minecraft folder and renaming it "launcher", but still nothing happens.

As you were messing with mods and doing it on the wrong versions etc i would suggest you delete all but the saves folder (so you keep old maps) in .minecraft, and run the client, then make a new profile (clearing the .minecraft will clear profiles)
Run the profile to download the minecraft files, and read this thread to see how to mod in the new launcher.

This way your starting with a nice fresh clean folder with nothing old to cause issues.

This won't effect anything on my friend's computer, right?

why should it if your downloading it on your computer?

Aiight, good. I just wasn't sure since it was the same account and didn't want to mess it up for him.

Did all that, but still...

Yeah. What am I supposed to do with the Aether launcher, maybe I'm not using it right?

I only play on single player though. Are you sure it will still mess him up?
