I Just Upgraded To Windows 8 Pro, I Downloaded Minecraft, It Runs.
But Then I Get 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.

It runs on windows 8 for me. You could always try a compatability package

Minecraft works with Windows 8 - Just because Notch doesn't use it, doesn't mean Minecraft won't work on it (that's like saying just because I use Windows 8 none of my mods work on Windows 7) - You'll need to wait for 8.1 drivers or search on the OEM's website (intel download center)

I have got an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4300 Series (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1).
I have the latest available driver

It was working fine in windows 8.
.
I have upgraded to 8.1 and I face now the same problem of "Pixel format not accelerated".

Any clue ?
Thank you

*ATTENTION* Minecraft and Windows 8 WORK FINE! The video card driver error is just your computer, not Windows 8.

I run minecraft on windows 8 perfectly. Bad video card driver means you need to find what video/Graphics card you have with alt pausebreak and then going on there website and getting the latest driver.

I know right?
Windows 8 runs Minecraft fine. you just need the right parts.
and, if you have gotten a 300$ or more computer from a store resentily,(or better yet, built it your self!) it should run MInecraft. will it run it good? no, but it will run it.

You could wait and see if he allows it, or install a previous windows on a second harddrive or a program that allows dual booting. other than that I don't know, sorry.

Ok sorry to tell you this but notch made a post on twitter saying he wont update to windows 8 because he doesnt like it, meaning minecraft wont work on 8. Unless he changed this i think that maybe the case, but what do i know? Try googling in
