Recently my Minecraft has stopped working. We've been running it on this computer since about 1.8 or 1.9 Beta, and It stopped working about 2 months ago.
The error is:

Looking at other Forum posts, we've checked our graphics drivers, checked memory tests. Everything is up to date.
The Intel 4 Series (and older) video cards are unable to play 1.7.4 and future versions of Minecraft. You will need to buy a new video card or computer to play new versions.
For now, you can still play 1.7.2 or older versions of the game. To change your game to a different version, start the launcher. Select Edit Profile. In the Use Version dropdown menu, select the game version you want. Then click Save Profile.

System:
Win7 Ultimate SP1 32 bit
Intel Core2 6300
4GB RAM
Intel Q965/Q963 Express Integrated Graphics
Java 7 Update 51
We have:
Uninstalled Java and Minecraft, Reinstalled cleanly.
Checked Intel GPU drivers, latest installed.
Ran memory check, OK.
We're kind of out of ideas. Does anyone have any suggestions?
For now, you can still play 1.7.2 or older versions of the game. To change your game to a different version, start the launcher. Select Edit Profile. In the Use Version dropdown menu, select the game version you want. Then click Save Profile.
