I just started playing minecraft again and im new to the launcher, I thought i would be very straight forward. so I logged in with my account and press play, but after it finished downloading the files and tried to launch the game it crashed!!

It said "Pixel format not accelerated" and that would always be the case no matter what I do

Here is the full crash report:
