I was trying to play Minecraft, but when I logged in it came up with this error:

 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.

I have updated all my drivers, and everything appears to be in working order, but it still doesn't launch.

My system information: Processor: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D525 @1.80Gigahertz OpenGL Version 1.1 Motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer INC. 1215N Graphics Card: NVIDIA ION (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.2) (ASUStek Computer Inc) Operating System: Windows 8 Pro 64 bit

In a program called GLview, I found something which said this: WGL_ACCELERATION_ARB: NO_ACCELERATION

Much appreciated if you helped out.

  • Not enough information. What kind of computer? Make/model? Did you update the drivers manually by downloading them from the computer manufacturer, or the chipset manufacturer? For example, if you had a laptop with dual video chipsets (intel for regular use, nvidia for heavy) and you downloaded the most recent intel drivers from intel, that might disable the nvidia.

I can't find any way of making Minecraft run, I have switched operating systems to Ubuntu and everything appears to be working out now.
