Minecraft Forums

Ever since I've updated to windows 8 I cant run minecraft. The client opens, i log in, it fills a loading bar and then goes to black for 10-15 seconds then gives me this error report.


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.

The problem is that I've updated all my drivers and it still crashes every time. Minecraft ran fine on windows 7. just don't know what else to do.

I have the same problem. Only difference is my error report said 'unknown OS' and I'm on MC version 1.4.2
