Is there any way to make minecraft survival work on my cpu. i get this open gl error thing and it suucks. (i wasn't sure where to post this thread so bear with me)
Error report:


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.

Sounds like you need to update your video drivers - are you using an integrated graphics adapter or a plug-in (i.e. ATI or Nvidia)? Even with something like Intel integrated, it should support OpenGL. If your machine is a prebuilt (HP, etc.) just check to see if they off an update.
 
If you have a somewhat small laptop you probably have integrated graphics.
If you have a desktop you can just take off the panel and check for a graphics card
 
First off, find out what company you video card is, then go to the conpany website and it should have a detect video card thing for updates, if not you will have to find out what version/type your vga is and type/select that manually.

I'm not too sure what to do next since i haven't fixed anyone's computer.
