valkyrieX888:
As what i said, i need help. I can't play Minecraft because an error, i've got this message:

-----------------------
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.

well updating your video card drivers is fairly simple.....
first you need to get to your device manager. there's a few ways to do it but one of them is:
click start
go to control panel
find and double click "device manager"
next you need to locate your video card on the list, while i can't tell you what it will be called since i don't know what type of video card you have in your computer it can be found under the "Display adapters" list. so click the little arrow next to that and it'll open a sub-list
at this point double click you're video card (if you don't know which it is you can just repeat this process for everything in the sub-list it wont hurt to update it all)
you'll get a new window opened with some tabs at the top, you want the "Driver" tab.
click that and on the new page you'll see "update driver"
click that and you'll get a prompted with a couple options like "search the web" or "browse computer" you want the "search the web" option
at this point windows will (hopefully) find and install the drivers for you, though you'll prolly get a prompt to accept the install and what not.
if this method doesn't work you'll need to figure out your video card type and dowload the drivers directly from the company, but it "usually" doesn't come to that.
hope that helps,
