So yesterday Minecraft ran like a charm on Windows 7. Bought Windows 8, upgraded, downloaded Minecraft and it gives me the "Bad Video Drivers" and I checked and it said my drivers were up to date.

	  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.
