Minecraft Forums

First of, this is my first thread so wooo, I'd like to meet the community!

Specs of my PC

Dell Optiplex 745

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40 GHz 2.39 GHz

8.00 GB DDR2 (RAM)

1 TB Storage

64-bit operating system (Browser may be 32- bit) [Not sure]

Windows 7 Professional

So I downloaded Minecraft yesturday and an Error keeps appearing.

I've tried re downloading Java and Minecraft, restarting, even asking friends for help and trying to trouble shoot it, but so far nothing happened

Neither of those suggestions would be correct. Plus that IS 64bit Java clearly.

It's this one: http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/references/intel-4-series-chipsets/

You can run 1.7.2 or earlier. The workaround is not guaranteed and at your own risk. The instructions are known to have issues (e.g. one of the registry tools is no longer at the link provided)

So I can't play 1.8? D:

Also, could you explain why this is happening briefly? I'm not very good with PCs.. XP

MC is phasing in some new Open GL requirements. At this point I think they are still optional, but the drivers you have claim to support the the OpenGL feature, so MC after 1.7.4 uses it. When MC uses them they crash because the driver has a bug in it.

Because Intel Series 4 chipsets are obsolete there are no further driver updates coming.
