So here is the deal with my problem.
I run java 7 as most of my programs require it, but minecraft and its modded counterpart Feed the Beast need java runtime enviroment 1.6.0. However, i am unable to install both at the same time. This only started happening after i uninstalled all of my JAVA in system programs and features, in order to try and fix ANOTHER java bug with my game. Its extremely infuriating as i can no longer play my games, which is also quite upsetting as i have payed for the game.
If anyone has a working fix which would allow me to have Java 7 and JRE 1.6.0 at the same time, i would be very grateful.
Otherwise, i would like to know if i can get the java back to how it was originally without a system restore, as i need the files on my computer.
Thanks,
Keegan.

you can always install multiple versions of java at the same time, but have to specify which to run under, go have a look at control panel>java.
i had 1.6 and 1.7 at the same time and didnt even know
