Hi, I have a laptop and I can't get the shaders to work on the Shaders option in Optifine's Shaders mod. My laptop runs Minecraft vanilla at 200-300FPS so I do know it will support it. When I load any shaderpack (when I drop the ZIP file into "Shaderpacks") and when I click on it, it will say at the bottom something like "cant load final.fsh" or some other thing. Please help as I really want to run shaders mod!

Can you post a dxdiag? Also what shaderpack are you using, and like rodabon said what Minecraft version are you using?

Honestly? Yes, all Intel iGPUs are pretty bad at anything requiring strict OpenGL support. Some 5th gen or newer might have some actual horsepower behind them that rivals cheap dedicated cards, but get bogged by Intel's horrible drivers. Yours is 4th gen BTW.
Intel does not care about OpenGL. I strongly suspect their hardware may be outright not fully physically compatible with the standard. Their DirectX support is decent, helped by the fact they supposedly outright bribe game devs to put in special hacks making games work better on Intel HD then they should. But OpenGL? Nope.
I never said you can't get good FPS in Vanilla. That's mostly a function of the CPU performance (characteristic of Java), so as long as the GPU isn't outright bottlenecking you (as some older Intels can) you can easily run at 200 FPS. Though frankly it's a bit surprising, as your CPU is severely underpowered for Minecraft.
But Intel HD chips outright lack the raw power and, in many cases basic support for necessary OpenGL features, to run high end shaders well, or at all. Case in point: SEUS. There's a reason why its description outright states that it won't work on Intel HD or Macs (Apple's shenanigans with OpenGL standards is another can of worms). Some claim to have gotten it working on SEUS. But in many cases those claims include modifications to the shader code that strip out unsupported functions.
Incidentally that is what all these "can't load ..." errors mean. That the Intel HD chip is unable to process advances GLSL graphical instructions of the shader program.
If you want a comment on your Laptop? The 1000$ price mostly comes from the huge high definition screen and expensive lightweight case materials. It has a U type CPU which are low power, low performance models. And apparently it's also one of the models that don't have an additional Radeon GPU. The HP EliteBook 850 G1 series (all EliteBook models actually) is specifically meant to be a large but light multimedia unit. A corporate/business "work" laptop, not a gaming machine. The most bizzare feature is 32bit Windows. That makes 20% of your 4GB RAM unusable.
Just because something is expensive does not mean it's good. I could easily find you some 3000$ ASUS XPS models that are so unbalanced most games end up unplayable, despite supposedly better specs then what you have here.
EDIT:
That rant came out longer the I meant it ...
Honestly, I know you're wrong so I'm not going to take your answer in. Like I said, I had a computer with lower intel graphics and a core i3 running shaders at 40-50FPS. Also, people who know way more about computers than you said that my computer is very capable of running shaders. They also said that the specs were good. The computer itself has 32-bit Windows but a 64-bit processor. I just have 32 bit windows. The screen is 1366x768 and it's only 15 inches. Also SEUS says it's not recommended for Intel GPU's but it does support it (I know because I have ran it on a computer with lower specs as said above.) I'm currently banned from Planet Minecraft and that's the only reason I'm using this. If I was able to post it on PMC, I would be able to probably have the answer and not get a rant about how bad my computer is (when it really isn't) because you probably have a much better PC that gets about the same results.
So you're saying an Intel core i5 is under powered? Do you know any knowledge at all? I'm done with this forum. I'll wait until I'm unbanned because I see people who think any computer that isn't theirs is underpowered.

What minecraft version you trying to run shaders on?
I recommend finding a tutorial for the version you're running.
For example 1.8:

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
Can you post a dxdiag? Also what shaderpack are you using, and like rodabon said what Minecraft version are you using?
Running OptiFine 1.9 (tried 1.7 and 1.8 but still didn't work)
Tried SEUS, Minecloud shaders, Sildurs shaders, all not working.
maybe your shader doesn't hav the referenced file(?)
I don't know what you mean. I tried various shaderpacks.
this file in bold
This is not true. I get 100-200fps on Vanilla Minecraft and my other computer that's worse than this ran shaders fine.
Just because some Intel GPU's are bad doesn't mean you should say all of them are. This computer was $1000
I also do have the latest Intel Drivers. I just installed them from my manufacturer's website.
