Powershell with Sharepoint module - contradictory Error-Messages

Question

I am trying to run the command "Get-SPWeb" from the SharePoint-Snapin for Powershell.

If I start PS normal (.net Ver.4), this is the error:

"Get-SPWeb: Microsoft SharePoint is not supported with Version 4.0.3.... of the Microsoft .Net Runtime."

Alright, so simply put -Version 2 behind the PS-Shortcut so it starts with Version 2? See what happens:

Error: Import-Module: [...] The Module 'SharePoint' requires a minimum version of '4.0' to execute

If I wouldn´t be mad as hell, I would just laugh about it.

Do you have any idea how to fix this issue?

This is the code by the way (important parts):

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
$web = Get-SPWeb "http://myaddress.com/myreport"

Edit: Version-Info´s:

The Version-check provides the following:

PSVersion:  2.0
CLRVersion: 2.0. ....
Build: 6.1. ...

And with the normal PS:

PSVersion: 3.0
CLRVersion: 4.0
Build: 6.2

Also, I always start with the x64-version as administrator

Edit2: This is how the errors look:

Trying to run with ver. 2

Trying to run with normal ver.

What version of SharePoint are you using? SharePoint 2010 indeed only supports .net framework 3.5. — Yevgeniy.Chernobrivets, Aug 13 '14 at 08:32
I use SharePoint 2010 - so how can I force Powershell to use .net 3.5 ? And why does it say "requires Minimum 4.0" ? — Best_Where_Gives, Aug 13 '14 at 09:03
Well, providing -Version 2 you actually specify version of powershell and not .net. See this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3344855/which-net-version-is-my-powershell-script-using. Try to check which version of .net you using. Also you need to use x64 version of powershell because SharePoint object model does not support x86. — Yevgeniy.Chernobrivets, Aug 13 '14 at 09:25
That is really odd that it says that it need version 4.0. I have on my SharePoint powershell 2.0 and it works perfectly. Have you tried specifying Version 2.0 instead of just 2? — Yevgeniy.Chernobrivets, Aug 13 '14 at 09:28
The Version-check provides the following: PSVersion: 2.0 CLRVersion: 2.0. .... Build: 6.1. ... And with the normal PS: PSVersion: 3.0 CLRVersion: 4.0 Build: 6.2 Also, I always start with the x64-version as administrator — Best_Where_Gives, Aug 13 '14 at 09:47
Can you please add it to your post? BTW i do not see version information in your comment :). — Yevgeniy.Chernobrivets, Aug 13 '14 at 09:49
Wait, are you using SharePoint online? Why it says Microsoft.Online.SharePoint ? — Yevgeniy.Chernobrivets, Aug 13 '14 at 09:54
