Download Java Runtime Environment 7 Update 51 (64-bit)

Java
Okay I've been searching far and wide for an solution to this issue:
I recently updated to Windows 8.1, literally this morning, and now Java 7 update 51 (7u51), which is the latest version, crashes with the error 'Java SE binary has stopped working.' Now Java 7u51 worked perfectly in windows 8 x64 prior to upgrading and I know the easiest solution would be to do a system restore back to windows 8 but I really like 8.1 and I don't want to go back. Plus I don't think that will resolve the issue. Now this error occurs at every instance of Java running except on Java's own site. So running Java in Firefox: Error ; Chrome: Error ; IE: Error ; accessing the Java control panel: Error; Configure Java: Error; About Java: Error.
I've tried uninstalling Java and reinstalling Java
I've tried browsing the Registry, got lost
I've tried running Java's test on Java's site while simultaneously running a Java app in Firefox and got it to work once. Hasn't worked since.
Does anyone know of any solution or ideas, I'm willing to try just about anything, other than a System Restore or Clean Install? Is anyone else have a similar issue with Java 7u51 or Java and 8.1 in general?
Thank for any help,
Update
