My 9yo is a huuuge fan of minecraft (and I admit to enjoying my fair share of youtube vids over the years, myself) so I surprised him with a pc copy for Christmas. It's already his most favorite gift and he hasn't even gotten to play it yet!!
The launcher keeps crashing, however. I downloaded Java specifically at Minecraft's request, so I should be running the most recent version of that as well.
Please assist!

After reading prior posts, the trend looked like it was to tell new users to create their own thread with their issues rathering than piggybacking onto another thread. Thought I was following community protocol by posting this, and maybe my post just slipped through the cracks, but I'm still hoping someone out there can provide the support to me and mine. Thanks in advance and again!
org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated
would seem to be a graphics problem. So that being said,
have you turned the computer off and on?
how far does it get before this crash (does it show the mojang logo, get the the title menu etc)?
what graphics card do you have?
have you tried updating the drivers?
All and all updating the drivers to the latest version should probably fix the problem as it may mean the openGL drivers aren't found or have an error. If not report back. Hope this helps.

tldr: bump
Well, this:
would seem to be a graphics problem. So that being said,
- have you turned the computer off and on?
- how far does it get before this crash (does it show the mojang logo, get the the title menu etc)?
- what graphics card do you have?
- have you tried updating the drivers?
All and all updating the drivers to the latest version should probably fix the problem as it may mean the openGL drivers aren't found or have an error. If not report back. Hope this helps.
