I have been recieving the following error:

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 have windows 7. My video card is a (ATI Radeon x1300) and it is fully up to date. (I have updated it 20 times today alone.) Any help?

Your driver seems to be out of date.

Any other ideas? I don't think they are actually out of date. I have done all of the youtube videos i can find and am still having the problem

try accessing your amd graphic control panel. Set your gaming by checking all "use custom/application settings".

If that doesn't work.

Restart you computer after installing and applying new settings.

Edit: Windows update always helps.

How do i do that first thing?

Right click anywhere on your background and choose "graphic properties"
or
Go and click the windows button and search "amd". You will find "vison" or "catalyst" choose it

1st, how do i access my graphic control panel. 2nd i downloaded that link and rebooted and it still doesn't work

By following the previous post. If that doesn't work then your video card is out of date and need a new one. I can offer no further support even if I wanted to.
