Hi everybody!!!

I recently bought Windows 8 from microsoft and was excited about how well it might run but as soon as I start it this shows up.


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.
