[MCL-2588] Game wont start

When I click the "Play" button the launcher vanishes like normal, but then quickly pops back up and Minecraft never starts.

Checking the development console I see this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Users\Born\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\versions\1.7.9\1.7.9-natives-6358202749934\lwjgl.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform

I have searched for a couple days now on how to resolve this. I've uninstalled all Java, and reinstalled it all from scratch. Done the same for Minecraft, and in every order.

Are you sure that you tried reinstalling both Java and MC?

Yes, I uninstalled all versions of Java. Then restarted the computer without any Java on it. Then reinstalled Java. Still no go.

Then I uninstalled Java and Minecraft, restarted pc, reinstalled Java, then reinstalled MC. Still no go.

I've also done the same for both the 32bit Java and the 64bit Java. Both separately and then one with them both.
