Help? Bad video card drivers?

Discussion in 'Empire Help & Support' started by TomvanWijnen, Jan 22, 2013.

  1. So, I just got a new computer from school, and i wanted to play Minecraft on it. But when i start Minecraft, it says 'Bad video card drivers!'



    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.
