Your version of Directx isn't updated, or your computer doesn't have Directx 10 or 11 installed. Update JAVA and DIRECTX.

Minecraft uses opengl, not directx

Kinderp your graphics drivers need updating (possibly) please post a dxidag log

Thank you two for the help but, I have figured it out, after what jiggy suggested did not work I just updated all of my drivers. Everything works just fine now
