Hi as the title says, I upgraded to windows 8 and now whenever I try to start minecraft, it comes up with this 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.

I've updated all my video card drivers (AMD Radeon HD 6470M) But it still isn't enough... Please give me a solution so that I can solve this problem.
You need to get the newest graphics card drivers from your computer manufacturer.
If your computer manufacturer doesn't have drivers for Windows 8, it might not be possible to run Minecraft.
