Hey Everybody,
I have started having problems with eclipse after about a month of it working perfectly fine on this particular computer. Here is a description of the problem.
Whenever I try to start eclipse, the Loading/Splash Screen (whatever you want to call it) comes up for about a second, and the suddenly disappears. No errors come up. I tried running it from command prompt, and the same thing happened, with no errors. Then, I tried doing ".../eclipse/eclipse.exe -clean" and it didn't do anything.
I tried posting on both StackOverflow and Super User, and neither came up with an answer that solved the problem. I figure that I may have better luck here, with solely eclipse users.
I am by no means a new at programming with eclipse, however I am by no means an expert either. I am, however, new to the forums, and do not know where to post this.
I have been using eclipse on my Windows 7 system (64 bit) for 5 months now. That still works fine. I have more recently been using eclipse on my Windows 8 Samsung Tablet Smart PC (32 bit). This is the computer I am having problems with.
The only changes made to my computer are that I recently installed the Leap Motion software and SDK. The next time I tried to open eclipse it didn't work. This may not be related, because I did the same on my Windows 7 computer, where eclipse still works.
Thanks for any help.
If you think I should move this question to a different forum, please tell me where.
Here are the links to my questions on stackoverflow and super user. You may want to review some of the answers/comments. Thanks again.

NOTE
***********
No errors come up when running from desktop, start menu, or command prompt. It just opens the splash screen for a second, then it disappears. I have a JRE from when I first installed it.
I am also having problems running the android ADT, but this is no surprise, because eclipse is not working correctly

LINKS

It won't allow me to post links while I have fewer than 5 messages (if somebody would explain how that works to me I would be grateful), so on stack overflow you can search for Eclipse and Android SDK stopped working (user: SplatFace Development), and on Super User, you can search for two programming programs stopped working (user: SplatFace Development)

How were you launching it from the command line? Point to the java.exe (do not use javaw.exe when troubleshooting) with the -vm switch and see what happens and what the logs say. Where did you install Eclipse? Could the ownership or access permissions have changed? Could they have been changed on your installed copy of Java?

I was launching it from the command prompt like so.
...Documents\eclipse\eclipse.exe
and
...Documents\eclipse\eclipse.exe -clean
If I should do this a different way, please explain step-by-step. I never really use command prompt and just learned enough to run my "hello world" before eclipse installed. lol.
I installed eclipse and tried to run it in 3 different places now.
1) documents
2) C:\Windows\eclipse
3) My dropbox folder (I did this by putting it into the dropbox folder from my windows 7 computer, in case one of the files in mine were corrupted, but in hindsight it was a bad idea because my Windows 7 is 64-bit while my Windows 8 is 32-bit)
The permissions for Java may have changed when I installed the Leap Motion software, which can also use Java. If this did happen, how would I fix it?
Also, looking back to when this all started, I had forgotten that I started a download for a Java update which I never finished. Could this have stopped eclipse from working? I started updating about 4 days before eclipse stopped working, and I believe it worked the next day, but after that, I didn't use eclipse again until it stopped working.
Thanks again.
