I have a very old laptop and I would like to get it running Minecraft. I downloaded the launcher and it works perfectly, but when I launch the game, it opens a new tab that is completely white and then instantly crashes. After I quick google search, I decided it was my drivers. I installed new drivers (which took AGES), but it didn't seem to work. I was hoping maybe you smart people here in support could help me solve this one. It does this on all MC version. I am using Windows.I have the latest version of Java installed.
It give me this error message:
The game crashed whilst initializing game
The game crashed whilst initializing game
Error: org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated
Now I know you guys are expecting a crash report also, but when I click the 'veiw crash report' button, nothing happens at all. Ive clicked it many times and closed the tab and retried, but nothing ever happens when I click it.
Also post a crash report from the crash report folder.

Follow the instructions here: http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/pixel-format-not-accelerated/support/#dxdiag
Also post a crash report from the crash report folder.
A Pixel format not accelerated means its a driver or other graphics related issue. No need for a further crash report if it says that.
