Anytime i try to play minecraft this pops up:



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.

You have a bad video card or a video card that does not support OpenGL Try updating your graphics card via the internet if that doesn't work it's recommend you try to buy a different video card.

Where to go and how to update my graphics card,i've searched and done some updating but i don't know if i'm doing it right.

The OpenGL is null. One (or all) of your video cards doesn't support OpenGL. That's the only thing that will make OpenGL null. (Null means no data value) I'm surprised that your computer doesn't support OpenGL. Maybe you should replace the video cards. Your pixel format isn't accelerated enough to display the graphics of Minecraft.
