Howdy folks,

I just downloaded Minecraft and it's been about 2 years since I played last.

Only problem is I am experiencing an issue. When I pull up the Launcher and hit play, the mojang screen starts to load up, and then I get this error:

My machine is somewhat old, but should be okay to play minecraft as far as I know. It's a Dell Inspiron 537s, and I'm running Windows Vista. My graphics card is an Intel(R) G41 Express Chipset.

So far I've tried running as admin, running in 2000 compatibility mode, reinstalling java, and updating my driver utility.

Nothing seems to work.

Any help would be appreciated. Let me know if I can provide any more information.

Thanks!

Thankfully I have a newer laptop, but it would be nice to get this to work on my desktop as well.

Any more suggestions?
