Cannot play minecraft after updating java

I saw my java was a bit outdated so I removed it from my pc. then I restarted my pc. then I downloaded the latest version of java to my pc. I installed, checked if everything was ok by letting the java website do some tests and restarted my pc again. now when I press play online in the launcher it says.
Error: could not create the java virtual machine
Error: a fatal exception has occured, program will exit.

So either this is a problem with mc,
a problem with java,
or I'm doing something completely wrong. (<-- probaply this one)

Thanks

Does the Java control panel (Start -> Control Panel -> Java) run ?
What does http://java.com/download/installed.jsp tell you (but this will only work, if you have also the browser plugin installed) ?

But this is a technical support issue; this site is for bug reports only. For technical support please use the Mojang Support Center.

I've had this problem many of time all you need to do is force update you're Mine craft (first you should disable you're java) then play single player for a second then you need to try to use you're command like /Creative /Survival /Adventure /kill /die /level surface this command will (should) reset most of the java resources in you're game then re-enable you're java [you should be good to play Multilayer and Single Player..

Hello, I fixed the problem by repeating the entire process of deleting my java and redownloading it again. Everything works fine now
