I cant start minecraft because it gives me this


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.

Control Panel(or start menu) - Device Manager - Graphic Cards

Also, are you using a laptop?

That's the answer. Post what graphic card are you using, or contact your card provider about drivers(or just look them up, it must be EXACTLY the same model you are using). Also, if you have an old computer, it might not work at all.
