I bought Minecraft recently and would really like to play it. But whenever I try to launch the game, it comes up with this:

You'll probably ask for my DxDiag next, so here it is:

Please help, and thank you!

EDIT: I tried using the Intel Driver Update Utility and it couldn't find any update for my drivers. I know I have a pretty bad computer, but it gets by. If no one can find a solution, we plan on getting a new computer anyway (not just for Minecraft).
