Minecraft Forums

Hi, I have absolutely no experience with computers and this crash report occured (it happens everytime I try to play).
I have no idea what it means and what I can do about it.
I'm playing on a laptop (ACER, Aspire V5, Windows 8) but the screen was broken and the repair person just took it off and told me to connect it to another computer screen, which I did. (I didn't have the money to buy a replacement screen).
I don't know if the error is that Minecraft thinks I don't have a screen at all? Can I fix that? (easily? I don't know how to play with codes and stuff)

Thanks a lot! And sorry for my english!

Edit: Sorry I just saw other thread with the same subject but I don't know how to delete a thread and anyway, I still don't understand that graphic card thing... Nothing changed except my screen and I could run Minecraft before with that same computer.

Here's the copy-paste of the crash report (yes, the smiley is there as : ( typed next to another without a space) :
