First off I did read the easy fixes guide or whatever for an answer and the link was dead. This is the error my friend got any help she's never played before?
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.

She needs to update her graphics card driver, from the manufacturers website. www.amd.com or www.nvidia.com or www.intel.com
depending on what type of graphics card she has.
If she is using a laptop, the driver may need to come from the laptop manufacturers site. ie. toshiba, compaq, dell, etc.
Using device manager in windows won't install the correct driver. The ones that come from windows are missing opengl support.
