it gives me this crash screen:

It says I need to update my graphic driver but I have tried that and it says that my graphic driver is up to date. mincraft has always worked fine on our computer. It runs much better than my friends minecraft and his works fine with all the 1.7 updates. I have tried deleting minecraft and re-downloading it but that doesn't work.
Please help me figure this problem out

give me a list of your specs(Processor,Graphics Card, Ram)

the reason you might get this error(I did too) is because Windows makes you use there drivers not the manufactures.

we have 8g of Ram
the processor is an intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz 2.33GHz
I think the graphic card is an ATl Radeon HD 3450 (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1)

it wont let me paste it to this reply

http://pastie.org/pastes

that's what I thought I pasted. for some reason the link didn't work. let me try againhttps://gist.github.com/anonymous/8230553

this one works

ok thanks
