Alright, so I upgraded to Windows 8.1 because I only had keys for 8, and was tired of features it had and needed the new ones. Microsoft had promised fully compatibility...but apparently drivers aren't part of "everything". So now Minecraft won't run from the launcher, instead spouting this:

From what I can see it's because OpenGL isn't installed/available. I've got the default Windows drivers installed for my adapter...
ATI Mobility Radeon HD4200 Series (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1)
Yes, I've tried installing both the latest Catalyst stable and Catalyst beta, neither work (the beta actually goes so far as to blue screen my computer...).
Any advice from other Minecrafters who figured this out?

almost the same?
Doesn't seem to be the same... your error reads: "javax.imageio.IIOException: Can't read input file!" while mine reads as "org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated"
Typically different exceptions indicate different problems. As for yours, I would try reinstalling Minecraft (back up your saves and such and all that jazz).
figured it i deleted the driver through device manger and installed the beta catalyst once that finished i went back to device manger and was able to change the driver form the microsoft WDDM 1.1 to the amd driver
I did that too, and now it's working...weird. It even gets CCC working.
Thanks for the help bigdudeandy, I really appreciate it. It's been annoying being stuck on certain OS's for Minecraft other than Windows lol.
