Hello. im pretty old minecraft player, i played it a year ago, it was fine... but suddenly when i wanted to play again today, it cant... something like this comes out.



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.
