Minecraft Forums

I just got a new computer, and Minecraft won't work on it. It used to work on it (was my dad's computer and I showed Minecraft to him before), but now that it has been formatted, and has 64 bit Windows 7 instead of 64 bit Windows Vista, It won't work. I have downloaded multiple versions of the Video Card drivers with no success. The video card in question is an ATI Radeon HD 4670 (I don't like ATI, but it was in this computer and my old nvidia card needed an extra plug from the power supply which this didn't have). The error message that Minecraft gives me is :


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.

I have downloaded that same driver a few different times. I will try again with your request, maybe it will decide to work now.

EDIT: It seems that I was downloading the wrong drivers or something (maybe 32 bit), and this ones did the trick. Thanks for the support.
