I'm having an issue trying to play Minecraft...
Recently, my family just got a new laptop. It's a really nice one, the HP Pavilion dv6. It runs very well, and has a lot of memory. However, when I try to run Minecraft, it says "Bad Video Card Drivers!" and doesn't run. The weirdest part is that rarely Minecraft works, though most of the time it doesn't. In other words, about 1 in 50 tries works. I'm wondering why I'm having this issue with this laptop. Here's the error message I received.
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.
