Okay, I have a brand new computer, and I want to play Minecraft. The problem is, I got a "Bad video card!" error message. My questions are:
1. What video card that supports Minecraft?
2. Can I change from an Intel video card to Nvidia?
And one more thing, I have a PC, and my current video card is Intel® G41 Express Chipset.
Here is the error message:
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.

Also I tried getting an "Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator HD (Core i3)", which works for my friend, but it says I didn't meet the requirements. Help?
Looks like that processor is supposed to support OpenGL, try updating your drivers like it tells you to. If your drivers are up-to-date and you still get an error, someone else may have to give you advice since I'm not very familiar with laptops. I know they make external dedicated video cards but I'm unsure as to how useful they actually are.

I'm not using a laptop. It's up to date but I still get errors. :/

If so you might try lowering your hardware acceleration in the display settings and see if that helps.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
Properties -> Settings -> Advanced -> Troubleshoot
Full hardware acceleration is the one causing this problem. c:
