Just today I installed a new video card on my computer. (Radeon HD 2600 XT)
First...

So now...whenever I try and play Minecraft I get the bad video card drivers error and then a link to where I can fix it.
It will lead my to the driver auto detect to see what driver(s) I need.
I do that and it's fine everything works, but when I get to the actually installation of the driver I get a blue screen with this error message.
Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you (0% complete)
If you'd like to know more, you can search online later for this error: SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED (AtihdWB6.sys)
That is the error I get after trying to install an update to the video card.
This is the minecraft crash report:

Hi,
The Radeon HD 2xxx series are fairly old graphics cards, and are marked as "legacy" by AMD.
The reason you are getting those errors are that AMD has no proper graphics drivers for that card on Windows 8.1.
You can try to install the latest beta Windows 8 drivers after a complete uninstall of your current AMD drivers, but I cannot guarantee if it will work.
