So one of the most common problems in Minecraft for XP. Yet no matter what all the topics I come to do not help me. I've tried all that I've found/can think of. So I really need the community here.

System: Microsoft Windows XP Proferrional Version 2002 Service Pack 3
Computer: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3000+
2.16GHz, 1.50GB of RAM
Display Adapter/Driver: RADEON 7200 (Microsoft Corporation)

Error Display in Minecraft:


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.

If you've tried everything than I don't know what you can do. Have you tried updating your video drivers?

And why is this in the Modded Client Support section?

I've tried updating, but it just doesn't work...and I put this in the wrong spot. Opps.

Well you could use MCPatcher's "test" mode, but that's playing offline so you get no multiplayer and you have Steve skin.
