Hi. I've been trying to use Minecraft and it crashes once I hit play and get past the launcher. Heres the error report :

Any help would be greatly appreciated. My friend has just started a MC server and I really want to play on it.

Use minecraft 1.7.2. You will not be able to play any version above 1.7.2 until you either upgrade your graphics card/drivers or get a new computer.

This issue is due to your graphic card being outdated, you must get a new one or just get a new computer.

Your LWJGL is faulty. Am I right?

No. You are not correct. Their hardware doesn't support the version of OpenGL the game needs in versions after 1.7.2
