I just installed Windows 8 Pro x64 and can't get MC to work on it due to the GFX error I receive.. (OpenGL, update Vid Card.. blah blah)...

I've went to Windows update, nothing.
I've Googled drivers, nothing works.
I've tried countless ways posted on sites, still nothing.

My video card is a Mobile Intel (4) Express Chipset. My laptop is a Toshiba Sat. C655 S5068. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Intel are not releasing drivers for Microsoft Windows 8

-.- well that's kind of ridiculous.. Is there any way to run it on Windows 8 with an Intel Video Card?

Not without getting a Blue Screen when playing Minecraft.
I am currently looking for a fix.

Alright, looks like I'll be doing a dual boot and run Win7 as well. Thanks.
