HEY DON'T FORGET TO CHECK MY FIRST HARDCORE MINECRAFT QUESTION!!!


I go to this school that we carry laptops everywhere.
There is this JR that hacked minecraft and now everyone plays it during lunch (though I bought mine too). Me being a freshman got one of the older laptops, so when I tried to play minecraft this is the message I got:


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.

I don't know if it is a java problem or a Graphics accelerator problem. I can't exactly ask the Sienors to update my graphics card (obviously), well this sometimes isn't true they do let people do stupid stuff sometimes java is a possibility now (we haven't updated that in a while due to our old math tutor not supporting newer versions of java).

Though I do have one Tool that might help, I can take take things from the hard drive of any computer and put it on to my network drive, I Have gotten everthing related to OpenGL and put it in my networkdrive if it is possible to somehow divert the application into thinking the folder where I put OpenGL is the system folder maybe I could do this. That is if thats the answer...

Anyways anything you could suggest would help, I can install anything on this computer as long as it is on the network drive

My guess would be that your video card is too outdated, but I don't really know.

MichaelVash7886 : Computer Forum for this one perhaps? It seems a bit too complicated for General Help.
