I'm having the same issue. I think it has to do with the new launcher, because with the old launcher, this problem didn't occur. Don't quote me on this, but I think it has to do with the fact that the launcher doesn't use java, yet the game does. That's just a theory.

It is the latest version. I purchased it from mojang yesterday and downloaded it for my son. thanks for your help
I also updated the drivers last night.

I think you probably have this problem: http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/references/intel-4-series-chipsets/

Try setting the version to 1.7.2, if that works, but 1.7.4 does not, then it definitely is.
