When I open Minecraft this comes up:



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.

UPDATE:
Notch fixed the client about a week ago, nothing to do with you not having OpenGL or anything, its just that OpenGL for chipsets works differently, and Minecraft didnt recognise this, the bug was only between 1.8 and 1.0.0 though, you can play now

hey guys, i have this problem with the website client, ever since 1.8.1.
I have no graphics card, but do have advanced opengl. its installed differently so it does the same as this guy, goto: adf.ly/2pbr8
dont install, just use start minecraft button. BTW, unless you and i can get a client without graphics detection, we will never play online or login EVER AGAIN!!!

if Minecraft was running fine before, simply try a computer restart. There's some serious bugs in the new Java upgrade, and something temporarily corrupts the .DLL files. Restarting the computer fixes it.

Give it a try and see if that's your issue.
