Minecraft Forums

Hello!
im having a problem with... (dramatic drums) Bad Video Crad Drivers! (on windows 8 Pro x64)
drivers updated, done what was found on random forums, searched the net for no answer.
god... i demand a 2 hour refund on my life!
so, the PC with the problem has this:
Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family

and minecraft gives this:


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.

Updating the drivers should do the trick... Have you tried un-installing and re-installing them?

are you sure you read ALL of my post?

If that doesn't help, try updating lwjgjl.

updated, didnt help.

And If that doesn't work, post your dxdiag.

OS: windows 8 Pro 64-bit
Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.4GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
Display Device: Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family

Try the following drivers: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Graphics&ProductLine=Laptop graphics drivers&ProductProduct=Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family

I also know that on windows XP i could change the troubleshooting setting to low and that would work, but how do i change that setting on Windows 8?

You're not the only one who has reported that none of the available drivers on Intel's website function on Windows 8. Beg Intel to make working drivers.
I don't know what you mean by the 'troubleshooting setting', and I certainly wouldn't know where to find it on Windows 8.

well, you had to go to properties through My Computer, then Advanced Display, fromthere there was a trouble shooting tab where you could change the setting from hight to none. I cant find this on Windows 8, maybe it is somewhere there, but if there is, then its hidden well.

We could start with why one would install Windows 8 on a machine whose components weren't supported...

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-hardware/require-update-for-mobile-intel-4-series-express/96cd8ecf-ae75-4295-99a5-7ea2e27d54f5

That GPU isn't supported under windows 8. Everyone suggests installing either Win7/Vista drivers (from intel.com) and crossing your fingers, or getting drivers that have been released by third parties. For example there is this youtube tutorial: I'm not sure how much I trust drivers from random people though.

well look, there was the same problem on windows 7, and it was a piratic version of it, so he decided to install windows XP, which just didnt work. and sense windows vista is sh!t he decided to use windows 8, but then again, the problem with OpenGL remained. so here i am... looking for a solution for him
about that vid, im not sure, i might try.
