I have tried to get the game to start multiple times over the last couple of days. I have attempted to update my video drivers and it tells me that I have the most recent drivers. I keep getting a "Pixel Format Not Accelerated" error. Here is a link to the DxDiag
I have tried loading the most recent version of the game and a few of the older versions. I have played the game on this computer before, but it was around 2 years ago. Any help would be wonderful.

Yeah, that didn't give me any information that I didn't already have. Thank you, though. I did last night realize that I have 2 video chipsets. An integrated Intel and a ATI Mobility Radeon chip. I think I just need to figure out how to force my laptop to always use the ATI when it trys to open Minecraft.
Yeah, I have tried setting it to "High performance" when both on battery and plugged in. Says that it is using the AMD card, but still crashes MC when attempting to launch.

Mostly what I see on sites are saying update your video card drivers. I know you said you updated yours but I amjust saying what I keep seeing
