Hey guys my minecraft is getting ye olde error such as
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.

Try deleting the minecraft properties or config file this will reset it and hopefully will work.

have you recently updated your vid card driver, and this is what's causing the glitch? try a roll-back.
