Hey guys sorry for posting it here. I dont know exactly where to put this error fourm.

I am getting the same error that a lot of people seem to have



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.

Update your video drivers. First try the ones from Intel. (might not work with toshiba)

http://downloadcente...rsion*&lang=eng

I'm looking for the toshiba ones. Found them. (But it looks like you have the latest ones from toshiba. Hope that the above ones from Intel work for you.)

Toshiba branded version of the driver can be found here:
http://web1.toshiba....4=PSK00C-0HY015

Page is kinda confusing, so a direct link to the download is here:
http://web1.toshiba.....15.10.2086.exe

Ok, thanks. I am downloading it atm, do possible know anything else that could help me?

Also, I just had the same exact problem with my laptop, its a Asus u30jc-a1 with a 310m graphics card. The game was literally crashing my computer, and giving me open gl errors and all this other bull. I figured out what the problem was. MAKE SURE you have every update with windows 7. For me, I had to update to service pack 1 for windows 7 home premium 64 bit. After I installed the update, all my problems went away. Well.... so far they have. So do that and see what happens.

I am used to Xp and i just got win 7 Home prem. How do i find what service pack I have? and i have automatic updates on so i downloaded all the updates that are out

Ok i just checked, i know for sure i dont have sp1, i wen to the download center and they said the best way is to choose it fro windows update. I dont know how to so i hit advanced and it gave me 5 downloads for sp1. Could you possible clarify this for me.

Quote from Hidinginthelight

If the drivers don't help. You can open the options.txt file in the .minecraft folder. And make sure that 'advancedOpengl:false' not true.

Finally updating lwjgl may help. Tutorial for that can be found on the wiki. Heed the advice about backing things up first, lwjgl seems to be finicky about which version(s) work on which systems.

http://www.minecraft....net/wiki/LWJGL

Drivers are updated, and is the lwjgl part of mc or the computer itself? if it is part of mc does it matter whether or not i screw it up since i can just force update it. I dont even have the options.txt genereated cause it crashes but my friend gave it to me and i set it to false and it still didnt work. I also downloaded the toshba driver above and it extracted and ran. DO i have to do anything else to it?

If you have 5 possible downloads... download them all unless their optional, then you don't need them... UNLESS they are drivers... then you need them. LOL, but seriously, anything windows related download them... thats just a given...

I'm assuming that this fixed your problem since you have not re-posted anything

It didnt i think it is something about Intel(R) HD Graphics. I also can;t find my model number

Manufacture: TOSHIBA
Model: Satellite L635


That is all it says and on the bottom of the LAPTOP it doesnt have any sticker that has a serial number

Quote from Hidinginthelight

Did you try the drivers from the intel site?

Says my system didnt meet the requirements

Quote from Hidinginthelight

Maybe try this set: http://do

downwnloadcente...d=3231&lang=eng

And if it is not those, try using their tool to check your pc for the latest drivers. You'll need to install what ever plugin it wants, but hopefully that will sort you out.

I used it and alll it did was give me the information on the drivers. Is their a way i can update all of them?

Quote from Hidinginthelight

Ok. It was intel.

After you run the tool. it will list all the possible components it found drivers for, either up to date or needing an update.

You'll get a list that is collapsed.

+Graphics
+chipset

etc.

Click the + next to graphics.
In the bottom of the section it will tell you if you have the most up to date drivers, otherwise off on the right side of that section there will be a download button. Finally, the name of your graphics card, is a link, that will take you to the page that you can download the drivers from manually.

There is a video on the page about how to use the tool, watch that if you have more problems with it.

Also, take a screen shot of the page once it's done, and you have expanded the graphics portion of it. You can post that screenshot here, and it will help me see what's going on for you.
