I think I may have made a groundbreaking discovery. This thread doesn't really apply to people with newer computers. So. If you have a computer more than 5 years old, and tried to play minecraft, you may have gotten the "Problematic Frame" Error, when trying to play a version newer than 1.7.2. I tried several upon several options to try to fix the error. - Deleting my .minecraft file, Reinstalling minecraft 1.8, Using a RAM Disk to boost the speed of Minecraft, Hell, I even tried replacing the opengl32.dll and ig4dev32.dll files (Only making the problem worse) Then I stumbled upon a new idea- What if I installed Linux to my computer? It is a lightweight open source OS after all, and it can give old dying computers like mine a slight kick. So after weighing the risks and the benefits, I decided to install Linux. It was one of the best decisions I made. And also, to my disbelief, it was actually able to run Minecraft 1.8 unlike my Windows 7 OS! So, if you're ever experiencing the "Problematic Frame" problem, and you can't play versions 1.7.2 or newer of Minecraft, don't run out of hope yet. Linux is a free OS you can download from the Ubuntu website, and it's a great choice. I suggest you do it if you're experiencing problems playing Minecraft 1.7.2 or newer.
Too Long; Didn't read: If you can't play Minecraft 1.7.2 or newer on Windows XP, Vista, or 7, try installing Linux.
