I bought Minecraft today, but I can't play it! I get the following 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.
So I did what it said and updated my video card drivers and I updated Java, but it still comes up with the same error! Please help as I want to play this game I purchased.
Btw I am running Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. Thank you for any replies.
Windows 8 will sometimes choose to use the windows driver over the driver from the manufacturer.
Someone else posted a fix for that here: http://www.minecraft.../#entry19090367
Yeah thanks for the link, I did update the drivers through the manufacturers website. Thank you for the reply.
