Cant run minecraft on windows 8. I get a blackscreen then this pops up
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.

can anyone please help?
Im assuming your windows as you said windows 8, so heres the directory (copy and paste this in any window on your pc thats apart of the explorer.exe process) ex: open up a folder and replace folder directory info with this --> %appdata%\.minecraft This will bring you to your windows install version of minecraft. Im assuming version 1.5.1
For my example this is where im going on my pc*
C:\Users\supernet2\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft
basically just to be safe delete EVERYTHING in the .minecraft folder. (this will literally delete all minecraft resources/files/)
Alrighty we'll now assume you've deleted the .minecraft folder.
Now restart minecraft (the actual minecraft.exe) force authentication (login via email and your password) this will have minecraft redownload EVERYTHING to your minecraft directory*
Ex: rebuilding the database with new files directly from where ever minecraft client side files are housed*
Now.... this should fix your issue ASSUMING it is a LWJGL issue. If not try doing whats listed in the LWGL link... (although its basically the exact same thing as deleting .minecraft folder MINUS your actually removing everything like a clean wipe, just to be safe, where as LWJGL is just specifically replacing/verifying its a broken LWGL issue {It could be it couldn't be but for sake of isolating the problem} Wipe out/delete the entire .minecraft directory*
LWJGL is the LightWeight Java Game Library. Essentially, it is what Minecraft uses for graphics, sound, and input.
[edit]Why update?
Minecraft will not ship with the latest version of LWJGL.
Updating will fix some input bugs where keys seem to get stuck if you click at the same time. It also removes the "ghost" mouse pointer clicking.
Some users report a performance increase upon updating.
This can also potentially fix some issues regarding sound not working/cutting out.
It has also been reported to fix intermittent crashes on Windows.
NB: LWJGL 2.8.5 has a bug, which sends a false signal, that the user released all currently pressed keyboard keys, when a mouse button is pressed. That means, that your building will be significantly slower. Unless you can live with this: Don't update!
NB2: This bug seems to be fixed when playing in fullscreen mode (Default F11).
NB3: Nightly build (LWJGL 2.9.0) solves the false signal bug mentioned above. You might want to try it.
[edit]Where to download
http://lwjgl.org/download.php
Select the latest stable release and download the lwjgl-X.X.X.zip. You should also backup your .minecraft folder before following the steps below. As a last resort, you can use the Minecraft Launcher's Force Download option to reset the files.
[edit]Notes
With 2.8.1, on most 64 bit computers, the lwjgl64.dll update will cause a black screen crash. You can revert to the backup version you have saved if needed.
Again on several 64 bit computers, the OpenAL64.dll update can cause a sound glitch that makes bursting sounds. Keep a backup in case you need to rollback.
Version 2.8.5 generally breaks shift-clicking, 2.8.4 does not - you can change the url in your browser to access 2.8.4 rather than 2.8.5
With version 2.8.5 on Windows, clicking mouse button while holding W/A/S/D keys stops the walking. This bug is already fixed in nightly build.
[edit]What to replace
In the lwjgl-X.X.X.zip, there should be two folders, named jar and natives. You should replace the files in .minecraft/bin and .minecraft/bin/natives with the versions from the .zip.
You should replace these files:
In .minecraft/bin/ (All operating systems)
jinput.jar
lwjgl.jar
lwjgl_util.jar
In .minecraft/bin/natives/ (GNU/Linux)
libjinput-linux.so
libjinput-linux64.so
liblwjgl.so
liblwjgl64.so
libopenal.so
libopenal64.so
In .minecraft/bin/natives/ (Windows)
jinput-dx8.dll
jinput-dx8_64.dll
jinput-raw.dll
jinput-raw_64.dll
lwjgl.dll
lwjgl64.dll
OpenAL32.dll
OpenAL64.dll
In minecraft/bin/natives/ (Mac)
libjinput-osx.jnilib
liblwjgl.jnilib
openal.dylib
libopenal.dylib should be replaced with a copy of openal.dylib
The .minecraft folder's location varies by operating system.
Windows: %appdata%/.minecraft
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft
GNU/Linux: ~/.minecraft
[edit]Resources
All versions

If LWJGL solution doesn't work, a last ditch effort is to try out, updating your drivers. and making sure its not a graphical rendering issue, or something related to windows 8 hardware having improper/lacking drivers*

My videocard is a AMD Radeon HD, and I already tried to install other video cards and update mine it did the system reboot but then it said "Windows 8 failure configuring windows update reverting changes" and it would keep turning off and doing it again. I was forced to reboot my computer and redownload EVERYTHING.
To the thread author, please post your DxDiag log. All you need to do is to update your graphics drivers.
I dont know how to pick what I update. I already tried updating my AMD video card but ended up crashing my whole computer and I was forced to reboot it, which took 7 in a half hours.

From what i can tell... it seems like a OPENGL issue, more so you need to update your graphics card driver(s).
Is it a intel graphics driver?
Is it a amd graphics driver?
More details needed...
as for the guys input on updating lwgl... your better off doing it the easy way...
Uninstall minecraft completely
go to one of these directories based on your os*
