2 problems: Updating and Project creation

[AragornFire]

First off, when it says "a new update is available", i try to put it in my documents folder but it says:

An error occured: the request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

So i hit "OK"
I hit "New Project" and it says:

`Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately

Object reference not set to an instance of an object`

If i hit "Quit", it closes, but if i hit "Continue", it reads:

Creating a new project

in the main feed, but i cant find that project anywhere, and anyways, i cant tell it what minecraft, forge, or java version im using.
