Minecraft Forums

Im new here (sorry if im posting in the wrong forum!! :c )
i just bought minecraft today and im having trouble playing it. i get this weird message.
I know it says to update video card drivers but i think my video card is already fully updated! it's an
Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family card.

My computer is fairly old (4 years?) and im just wondering if it supports minecraft. if anyone knows how to solve this error please tell me!!!

And again im pretty sure my video card is fully updated, cant be too sure but yeah.











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.

Your video card is not full updated. Make sure this and anything else, Java, JRE etc., are update to the latest version! Respond back if it did or did not work!
