As stated in the first line of the crash report, you need a better graphics card.

False. The first line does not say they have a terrible graphics card as you suggest, but that the JVM did not find GL extensions it would be happy with. The HD3450 isn't great, but its far better than an Intel GMA that a lot of others try to use.

OP, It looks like windows is using its native drivers for your ATI card which sometimes work fine, but sometimes are awful. Head over to http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_vista64.aspx to get the latest ATI drivers and try that. Should work just fine, though you won't get amazing performance with that GPU.

my graphics card is a Moblie Intel 945GM Chipset Family

and I've already updated this one through Dell's driver download page.

Captain Obvious says: try to update everything that can be updated!
update java, all drivers, and if problems persist then uninstall and do it again. If everything fails then go to http://help.mojang.com and give them hell lol

And also try playing on the launcher and also on the browser to see if any problem
