Ok. So recently upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium from XP (worst process ever btw) and it worked fine on XP. I could play 1.7.9 fine, but now on 7 I can't get past the Mojang splash screen. I don't know why this is and here are my specs:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
RAM: 4gb
Graphics Card: Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family
Processor: Intel Core 2 DUO 2.0Ghz

I am not sure if it is running out of memory or if it is a problem with my graphics card. I do know that it could be a problem with my openGL. This graphics card was discontinued and had no update for anything past openGL 2.1 or 2.9 . Now, if there is a work around or a way to play it via something else then I would be willing to try it. Any help is VERY appreciated.
