Any help with this error would be greatly appreciated. I tried updating my video card drive (not sure if I did it right) and restarted when prompted. I launched the game again, and got this error.
Bad video card drivers!
-----------------------
Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode.
This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers.

You are trying to run OpenGL (the setting that says Advanced OpenGL in Minecraft) on either:
1. A video card that doesn't support it. (Intel HD Graphics sucks anyways, GO WITH NVIDIA OR AMD!)
2. The driver for the video card is not up-to-date and doesn't support OpenGL.
These methods should work.
A. BUY A NEW GRAPHICS CARD! INTEL GRAPHICS SUCKS!
B. Update your driver, you can do this off the Intel website.
But seriously I would kill myself if I was running Intel HD Graphics. It's not even 2000, 3000, or even 4000 just regular!
But update your video card drivers, if that doesn't fix the problem then Intel HD Graphics don't support OpenGL apparently.
Your GPU is Intel HD Graphics, but it says that the manufacture is ATI so you could try getting Driver Sweeper and see if you see any ATI drivers which shouldn't be there.
Intel HD Graphics somehow uses ATI's graphics drivers which is wrong, removing the ATI drivers should get Minecraft working.
Luigi....that did not work at all. It ended up ruining my display and causing me much pain and anguish. I had to do a system restore and gratzi a dio that it worked. Any other ideas?

2. I have a Nvidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 and I get the same problem what do I do?
