Quote from webrosc

can you do a dxdiag log (how to in my sig below)

Quote from webrosc

according to your dxdiag you don't have any graphics drivers installed


but i would guess the dxdiag is looking at the onboard graphics (most likely intel HD graphics )

but it also lists an nvida card with drivers dated


As your having issues with the nvidia control panel i would say it would be a good idea to do a complete uninstall of the nvidia graphics drivers and do a fresh install of them

Laptops also often have power saving setting reguarding graphics and only power up the superior graphics card when needed, being minecraft is a java game the laptop is possibly not seeing minecraft as needing the nvidia card, thus leaving it unpowered and the intel device (with no drivers) is left to try and run minecraft. (which it can't due to no drivers)
