Once i downloaded minecraft, this message popped up, like many others that winows 8 people have gotten:
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 was looking through the forums and many other people had this problem and i tried all of the given solutions. I went to device manager and found my driver is fully updated. I tried downloading two different drivers, but none of them were compatible on my computer. Please help DxDiag:
ok, i have the dxdiag, but when i post it in the spoiler, it says that the post is to long.....
i know you usually need it for a fix so what should i do?

Retired StaffI would very much like it if you created your own thread for your own issue instead of piggybacking on another user's support thread.
In any case, install this.

But if that fails, follow these instructions
