Okay, so listen up you sexy people. I have a problem with Minecraft, and I hope you help me because I complimented you. But it worked on Windows 7 but not 8! Here's my 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.

It says my drivers are on the latest driver! Help please, I have a GMA965 from Intel! Any help is appreciated, thanks for bearing with me!

Ok windows 8 still has VERY buggy drivers so wait until your manufacturer comes out with new drivers.

Or run a virtual windows 7 machine... >=)

Not really, I run 8 with no problems whatsoever.

All systems are different since you probably have a different VGA then it will have different support on your drivers

When you get windows 8, It has the microsoft drivers installed, you need to install your cards beta drivers...

Quote from Syfaro

Windows 8 installed all the drivers from my graphics card manufacturer automatically, I have no idea why everyone else has so many issues with drivers and Windows 8.

I'm just going to make a note in saying that Windows 8 has problems with AMD Software and Drivers, although NVIDIA operates fine on Win8.

well you might need to install a few files
