Well every time i start MInecraft it says any help +Rep For working answer




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.

your video card isnt good enough to support minecraft. try buying a new one or updating/upgrading it. that should work!

I had this same problem. What fixed this error for me was to find the proper drivers for your video card =, install them and restart your computer. After your computer boots up delete minecraft, including the .Minecraft folder in %appdata% then play minecraft and it should work... Well it worked for me. or google minecraft open gl error ..

I dont think his video card sucks, he said it has 2gb ram and its pci express 3.0 ... so it should be fine. But there are bad drivers for the graphics card that need to be installed or updated.
