Minecraft Bad Video Card

[Nyan]

I just formatted to Windows 7.

Help please


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 your video card drivers

Trying to ask how @Jail

Driver Genius Professional Edition - Backup, restore and update all your drivers easily
Use that software since its... not free.. What you should do is just use it 2 scan your computer then just find out what video card driver needs to be updated then just google the driver that Driver Genius detected and there you go..

[Reaper8281]

or use windows update... or you can look up your video card and go to the manufacturer website and download the proper updates there

I have 64bit, Win7, don't know my video card, but I think its the default on Dell Inspiron 1545.
