MC-297Minecraft ran two days ago, and suddenly won't even reach the title screen on 1.3 or 1.4pre. I have force-updated the game, updated java, updated my display drivers, and something is still amiss. I keep getting this error on startup:
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.— BEGIN ERROR REPORT 7fe0271 --------

It is not. I agree it probably has to do with my system, but I've been unsuccessful in troubleshooting it myself. Is this not where I should post this kind of error?
More info on this:
I run a desktop. My friend sk89q diagnosed this problem and determined that the specs of minecraft versions past 1.2.5 are too high for my hardware. I think it kind of sucks that a game I paid for, knowing it has previously run for me, would eventually increase its specs over my capabilities. But eh, what can you do?
I made this topic way back when because I noticed a weird issue. Not your average situation where the player doesn't know how to install mods correctly. I know how to force update Minecraft, and return to earlier versions. The fact is, Minecraft will not run on my machine past 1.2.5. Not that I mind sticking to 1.2.5 when I play on this computer.
What disappoints me is that Minecraft would require higher specs to perform in later versions of the same game. I know I'm not the only one who's been frustrated by this.
My friend sk89q has teamviewed on my computer to help me troubleshoot this issue, and he confirms all this. I trust him to know how Minecraft works better than most anybody, since he's made some pretty sweet mods and stuff.
Thanks. It could possibly be that my graphics card doesn't support OpenGL 2. It's a very old and terrible graphics card, sautered to the motherboard. Although it's not a problem for me anymore since I've gotten a new PC, but those options will probably help others.
It's interesting to know that the Open GL method changed between Minecraft versions, but if it's an upgrade then that makes sense.
And yeah, this sk89q?
