I kept looking for ways, and it didn't work.

Yes, I've tried

  • Reinstalling/updating java.
  • Messing with firewall/anti-malware stuff.
  • Reinstalling the launcher.
  • Getting the Windows Update

Other info you may want to know:

  • I use malwarebytes to get rid of viruses because I had Adblocknwatch extension virus that couldn't be uninstalled/removed.
  • When I got malwarebytes my minecraft stopped working.
  • I have AT&T u-verse and my computer [WAS] port-forwarded for my server, I unport-forwarded it to see if it would fix the problem, but it didn't.
  • I only have Java jre7 no higher/lower
  • This was asked as of April 6th, 2014.

Answer 2

I'd like too comment this, as this won't be useful that much as first - but im still too jelly for this ;) Sorry.

I'd like to see your Bootstrap or at least your Windows os + Version (32/64).

Without knowing this lets start low.

  1. Take a laptop, install the same Version of Minecraft and put it in your Network exactly like you did with your PC. (you connected the pc vial ethernet - plug the pcs lan-Cable in your laptopor if you use w-lan-> use the same accesspoint)
  2. If this works, try to alter your PCs ip-address. (some intelligent routers try to prevent you from unwanted ports after your virus-software informs them)
  3. Probably your problem isn't solved yet. The next thing to do is saving your .minecraft folder from appdata to any flashdrive and put it on your test-laptop
  4. post your results below

----- update

I got my coffee now, lets go on :) So you're running Windows7 on a 64bit core - I am sorry, ' have not read this properly first.

This part:

java.net.SocketException: Unrecognized Windows Sockets error: 10106: create

means you are failing to open the port. Usually this has one of two reasons: either you (or any program you installed) blocked the port to protect you, or any program you have got is using the Port right now.

but IIRC the second possibility should have caused something like this:

... Sockets error: 0: JVM_Bind

But this may have changed due the new launcer, so lets scan the ports.

Windows+R --> cmd --> enter
netstat -b

This will give you a list of all active Ports and the matching programs using them.

post your reply and we may go on
