Recently my friend jim was banned for griefing, I believe he did it just as much as you guys do, but can you guys at least give him a second chance? He was kind of cool and helped me build my house and stuff. Speaking of my house, about five minutes ago I was going to get on MC and take some screenshot to show you how epic it was, I got this error:
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.

Am I the only one who gets this? If not, what does it mean?
It's funny because I was going to try the John Smith texture pack when I started MC, that would have probably brought up this error too.
Hopefully it gets fixed before the map gets wiped along with the two stacks of diamond Nick gave me.
Yeah, so any help is appreciated.
Edit: Found this screenshot from a while ago featuring the old gang Me, Jim and Aqua.
And yes, that is Nick throwing snowballs at us in the background.
