Hey guys,

I have a problem (like most of the people here) I had windows 7 on my Lenovo X61 (http://lnv.gy/1g9NgiQ) , and minecraft worked perfectly fine. When I updated to windows 8 it spat out this error:

Bad video card drivers!
-----------------------

Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode.
This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers.

I have tried various "Solutions" from around the internet with no avail, if someone has experience and/or success with this error please help. Would updating to Windows 8.1 fox the problem?


Thanks in advance,

Did you ever find a solution to this? I have an x61 as well and am not having any luck
