Whenever I try to log in to Minecraft, it tells me that it "couldn't connect to our servers" due to a "SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target".
My computer runs Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
I tried reinstalling Minecraft after it couldn't connect to the internet and update itself to include 1.8 versions (I haven't played in a while). When I reinstalled it, I couldn't even get the launcher to start. Here is what the log said then: http://pastebin.com/GpzpJ68Y
I managed to get the launcher to start again by restoring my old copy from the recycle bin. This brought back the old launcher profiles file, so it started with me logged in and I was able to play the game again. However, I can only play offline, and the launcher cannot update to include the new versions. If I click switch users and try to log in again, it gives me the SunCertPathBuilderException error. Here's what the launcher log says when I managed to get it to work: http://pastebin.com/pyQE7Dhn
I don't know if this is any help, but when I tried to update my Google Chrome, that updater had similar problems with connecting to the internet.
I have already tried disabling my firewall, reinstalling java, reinstalling minecraft, and rebooting my computer. I don't have an antivirus program other than the default windows one that could block Minecraft (maybe I have a virus?). I have the latest version of Java, and I have uninstalled all other versions. None of these solutions have worked. Can anyone help me?
Go to Start and type in cmd. Right-click the results that appears and click 'Run as administrator', then accept then UAC dialogue.
In the command prompt window, type the following command and press enter:
netsh winsock reset
Once complete, restart your computer and try Minecraft again.

I ran a windows troubleshooter and it said I have missing or corrupt service registration. I think this explains why my minecraft isn't working, as well as some other problems on my computer (such as the windows/chrome updaters also not working). Do you know how to fix this problem?
