I recently updated to Windows 8, and not Minecraft will not run on my computer. I had Windows 7 x64bit previously, and Minecraft would run just fine. Now that I am now running Windows 8 x64 bit, I receive the following error message when trying to run Minecraft.
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 attempted to update my graphic card driver, but I haven't been able to do anything that works. I'm not sure what steps I need to take.
I've tried both of those things, both before and after restarting my computer. I downloaded both x32 bit and x64 bit versions of Java. I tried to do the same for the driver, but it told me I could only install the x64 bit version since that's the version of Windows I'm running. It's still not working. :/
