So not resently...but like...about when windows 8 came out, i upgraded to it. And i dont have the best computer in the world, but Minecraft would run perfectly on windows 7. but now, it wont start...it just says bad graphics card. i have upgraded it to the fullest...
Graphics Card: Intel(R) 946GZ Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)
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 IF YOU COULD PLEASE HELP...I WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED...
You'd be surprised, my cousin works at Optimum support service, one time he got a customer who couldn't get his router to work, so my cousin asks "What lights are turned on?", the customer says "There are no lights on", my cousin goes "Is it plugged in?", customer goes "oh..."
Anyways, try going to the graphics card's manufacturer's website and downloading drivers there. People have been having trouble with the Window's drivers.
