So today I updated my minecaft to 1.4.4, And It Keeps Telling Me Bad videocard drivers earlyer today before I updated it worked on 1.4.2... Heres what it reads....



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.

Please Help: (On Windows XP 32bit)

it seems like you need to update your'e video card drivers!
To do that, go to youre manufacturers website (example AMD.com)
and click where it says drivers. That simple.

Another option if you have steam installed: Just click steam (in he top left corer of the seam window) and click update video card drivers!

That should fix the problem
