I suppose that I'd try to recreate a fresh install. You were right to try and delete your .minecraft folder, but you could also re-install Java:

Next, try to re-download the Minecraft.exe: http://www.minecraft.net/download.jsp

If that doesn't work, I'd suggest you try and update your video-card drivers.

delete your minecraft bin folder and open minecraft it back up. It'll go through the process of updating again.
