Well, I have owned Minecraft for about a year and a half now, but recently I have been getting the Bad Video Card Driver error. I updating my drivers, and restarted my computer, but it is still not working. This is the error:
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.
