Fresh meteor 1.3 on win7 not runnning

Question

I am also posting this on stackoverflow as this is suggested by meteor itself :)

I upgraded my meteor project to Meteor 1.3, and after updating all the proper packages I could not get meteor 1.3 to run. Then I created a fresh project and still get this error I posted below. I also tried to create the simple-todos example shown here https://www.meteor.com/tutorials/blaze/creating-an-app in CMD. Same result.

Windows 7 btw :) Also I have not installed meteorhacks:npm or any other extra packages whatsoever.

http.js:733
  throw new TypeError('The header content contains invalid characters');
        ^

Meteor does startup properly and does not crash until I actually navigate to localhost:3000. The page immediately errors (host not reachable) and meteor crashes with the error shown in my OP.

This problem was related to a specific windows 7 version. Though I don't have specifics anymore, it has been resolved.
