so i have a windows xp laptop and minecraft keeps crashing it says Bad video card drivers! ----------------------- Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode.

You need to go to nvidia.com and get the updated drivers (or whatever brand your gfx card is) and download, install and then reboot your computer. Also, i see as a flag, if you have mods or a hacked client on there, try doing a force update.
