:creeperdance:Help please

you have the wrong video driver installed, you need to get one from intel, nvidia or amd.com depending upon what GPU you have.
The drivers that come from windows won't have the Open GL support that's needed.

I know, but it is way to confusing. Also, it started doing this when I downloaded Windows 8. So that might not be right.

Also do you like my avatar? :3
