Oh my god! I have a dell xps 8500 with 7500 Radeon graphics card. I got my computer, booted it up and started minecraft. I also ran spore. One day my system crashed for some reason. I had to completely uninstall the operating system and reinstall it. Memory wiped. so then I set it up and redownload minecraft. And it turns black for a little bit, and has the "bad graphics card. can not find an accelerated openGL" and junk. I'm not a computer expert, but I have used them since I was very little. I have looked all over the internet on how to fix this. My graphics card says it is up to date, and I have Java 7. It has one update, but I dont want to because I've heard rumors that minecraft is having problems with java. I have windows 8. Please do not say I do not have good enough hardware, this computer costed 1000$ and I got it only a few months ago. What I really do not understand is how it worked so perfectly before (despite an audio issue), but does not work now!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP SOMEBODY PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
