Could someone please help me with this? Thanks.

Try updating your graphics card drivers. If you need help send me your graphics card model and I can send you the link to update them.

I've already updated them twice. It hasn't done anything, but the name of my graphics card is ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 series.

Anybody?

I have the same problem. I've tried upgrading the graphic drivers to the latest version, but Minecraft doesn't work. Here's my crash report:
