Minecraft Forums

I've reinstalled Minecraft and Java a few times, as many recommended on other threads, and nothing seems to be working. Minecraft will work on earlier versions on it like 1.6.5, but i'm looking to join servers and such.

Btw i'm using a brand new computer, well not new, but freshly reformated.
This is the error code that keeps popping up so I hope someone out there knows what's going on.

What. Really? I just read the other thread that had an identical problem to what i'm having and apparently it's not possible for me to play the newer versions of minecraft.. at all.. if this is the case i'd like to get the information of someone I can file a complaint to get my money back. I didn't get any notice prior to my investment of this game that i'd not be able to run it, further more I didn't have an issue previously with other consoles. What the hell did they change? I can run Minecraft with older versions but that's not what I paid for. It's an insult.

Thanks for your time but i'm going to go with the safe route and buy a new graphics card. I'm not risking messing up my computer any more than it already is. :]
