Minecraft Forums

i have had:

windows 8 pro 32-bit

for a while and now i updated it to 64-bit yesterday or the day before

i was playing Minecraft just before i reinstalled windows and then re downloaded it and i started it

but when it finished downloading all the veersion data and files it closes and in a few seconds it reapears with a crash report

i have used 1.0 because it actually tells me whats happening but i dont know how to fix it

Bad video card drivers!
-----------------------

Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode.
This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers.
