Everytime I try to hit "play" to play the game, it crashes. I have tried to update graphics but it didn't help.
It crashes at "Downloading 1.8.1.jar"

Moderator1. downgrade windows to 8 or lower
2. install a newer graphics card
3. attempt the workaround here http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/support/unmodified-minecraft-client/1868881-windows-8-lack-of-updated-graphics-drivers-solved#c8
The workaround may not work and if you try it be it on your own head.
The third one worked. Thank you.
