Minecraft Forums

I've tried deleting my .minecraft folder and reinstalling it but that doesn't seem to help. Every time I open the launcher and press play, nothing happens and it just sends me back with a crash report. This is the first time I've tried playing Minecraft on this computer. Any help would be appreciated!

org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated

this error simply means that the graphics card you are using is not capable of running OpenGL, in short, until you upgrade your grapics card minecraft will NEVER run on this computer. well any version newer than 1.6.x that is

Well that's unfortunate, this is a brand new computer haha. I'll have to see about upgrading later, thanks for the help!
