MC Seems to crash right on startup. It was working before I got my current PC, but doesn't now. Seems to be a common problem. Crash Report Time: 2/25/15 7:10 PM Description: Initializing game org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated at org.lwjgl.opengl.WindowsPeerInfo.nChoosePixelFormat(Native Method) at org.lwjgl.opengl.WindowsPeerInfo.choosePixelFormat(WindowsPeerInfo.java:52) at org.lwjgl.opengl.WindowsDisplay.createWindow(WindowsDisplay.java:247) at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.createWindow(Display.java:306) at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.create(Display.java:848) at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.create(Display.java:757) at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.create(Display.java:739) at avf.ap(SourceFile:534) at avf.am(SourceFile:363) at avf.a(SourceFile:310) at net.minecraft.client.main.Main.main(SourceFile:124) A detailed walkthrough of the error, its code path and all known details is as follows: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Head -- Stacktrace: at org.lwjgl.opengl.WindowsPeerInfo.nChoosePixelFormat(Native Method) at org.lwjgl.opengl.WindowsPeerInfo.choosePixelFormat(WindowsPeerInfo.java:52) at org.lwjgl.opengl.WindowsDisplay.createWindow(WindowsDisplay.java:247) at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.createWindow(Display.java:306) at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.create(Display.java:848) at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.create(Display.java:757) at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.create(Display.java:739) at avf.ap(SourceFile:534) at avf.am(SourceFile:363) DirectX

What are your computer specs? If you are using Intel Series 4 chipset or earlier, you may not be able to run Minecraft on your computer. You can also try updating your video drivers. If that still doesn't work, you will either have to stick with Minecraft 1.7.2 or you can try downloading a hacked OpenGL (I'd advise you not to do this, this can damage your system.)
