Minecraft Forums

Sorry if this happens to end up in the wrong place, I'm new to Minecraftforums.

Well the problem is, minecraft gives me a terrifying error when I try to open it from the launcher. The reason it's terrifying is because it doesn't make sense. It tells me to update my drivers, but in Device Manager, it says my drivers are already up to date. I tried to get the correct update from the Intel website, thinking it was only a bug. It doesn't let me install because my "system doesn't meet the minimum requirements..."


You can probably see why this is so frustrating.

Before I show the Crash Report and my PC Information, just know I've ran minecraft on Windows 7 (previous to ->) and Linux Ubuntu without problems.

PC SPECS:
Processor- Pentium Dual-core CPU T4500 @ 2.30 GHz
RAM- 4.00 GB (3.87 Usable)
System Type- 64-Bit Operating System, x64-based Processor
