Okay So I just updated my computer to windows 8.1. Whenever I try to run minecraft I get that error above^^. The only problem is all my drivers are up to date 100% and minecraft worked PERFECT on windows 7. Here is a copy of the error if that helps.

Someone please help. I can provide a dxdiag report if neccessary

Your drivers are not correct. You must provide a dxdiag (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1742903-obtaining-a-dxdiag-log/), and cross your fingers, lots of people upgrade obsolete hardware to windows 8 and discover that the hardware isn't fully supported.

Thanks for replying here is the report

Your chipset is now considered obsolete. The last driver available for it is for Windows 8.

Try to install this version of Catalyst: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy2&os=Windows 8 - 64



You may need to follow the "have disk" method: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/support/unmodified-minecraft-client/1869598-windows-8-1-not-able-to-play?comment=2

I installed it and it finished with errors.
