Minecraft Forums

Alright. I'm kind of new to these forums, so I'm hoping this will work. So, yesterday I updated my PC to Windows 10. Seemed like a great idea at the time. This morning, I start up my PC, hoping to get some Minecraft time, but when I press the 'Play' button, after a few seconds, I recieve a message. It reads:

We're sorry, but it seems there was an error while trying to render aspects of the game.

To solve this error, it is recommended that you update your graphics drivers.

If you are unsure of how to update your drivers, please click 'Fix the problem' for more information.

If you recently installed Windows 10, please ensure that your hardware manufacturers have updated drivers for it. For more information, select 'Fix the problem'.

And my Minecraft launcher looked a bit like this:

// Quite honestly, I wouldn't worry myself about that.

So I select 'Fix the problem' as instructed, and I am redirected to a page on Microsoft Edge with instructions on how to scan for outdated drivers. Here's the link:

http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/pixel-format-not-accelerated/

So I follow all these instructions, I download Intel Driver Update Utility as instructed, and I scan...and no outdated drivers were found. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Sooooo I'm redirected to yet another page, looking something like this:

http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/pixel-format-not-accelerated/support/#submit

So I follow all of these instructions, and at the end of it I am told to submit this Ubuntu report from the dxdiag text document and all that rot and, after recieving a link, visit a technical support resource. And here I am now. Here is the link to my Ubuntu report:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/12764682/

I'm hoping one of you can instruct me on how to proceed.

Rollback to your previous OS.

There are NO full functional video drivers for Windows 10 and your old (i.e. obsolete) Intel Series 4 chipset.

I've been seeing this a lot lately. People should really check to make sure that there's drivers for their GPU or other components BEFORE updating. There should also be a pinned thread about this problem.

Microsoft is pushing Win 10. They'll be happy to tell you that your hardware will work with Win 10.

Doesn't mean your other software will, but MS doesn't care about that.

But if you go to the support page for this poster's computer at : http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/inspiron-560/manuals

You will see what Dell says:
