Hey all, before I installed windows 8 MineCraft was working perfectly fine for me but after I updated my windows I would get this error every time I attempt to run it :
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 would also like to mention that I downloaded opengl32.dll from http://titaniumgl.tk and replaced it into my system32 folder and the game worked and I was able to create a world but it was extremely bugged and I couldn't see any blocks, I wasn't able to reproduce this bug again.
Never install drivers in compatibility mode, just something to note.
You'll need drivers from Acer, so try the following: http://global-downlo...ACER&SC=EMEA_27
Thank you with all my heart I love you in the homoest way possible

I got this error message:
This computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements for running this software!
I also tried to run it in compatibility mode
