Whenever I try to go on to play Minecraft, this error shows up.

Can anybody please help me with it. I'd be glad.

See: http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/references/intel-4-series-chipsets/

Is there any way to play versions after 1.7.2?

Not with that Intel Series 4 GPU. There might possibly be an older version of the Intel driver that works for now, but it won't work indefinitely, and I don't know which version it might be or where you could get it (and for which OS it might be limited to). The problem right now is that MC is shifting to using some "new" Open Gl features. They aren't required right now (but will be in some future version), but MC will use the feature today if a driver claims to support it. The Intel driver claims to support it.. but it doesn't work.
