Ok so i installed windows 8 onto my laptop and whenever i try to play minecraft it says:

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 tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.

EDIT: looky here http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1548257-windows-8-incompatability-bad-video-card-drivers/ , and scroll down for solution
