Bad Video card drivers

Post by Brig » Wed Aug 08, 2012 4:58 pm

Problem: For some reason when I go to minecraft on my computer either through the website or the icon on my desktop, it lets me login and all that, but right before when I go to the actual game main screen it goes white (still within the minecraft game borders) and says " bad video card drivers and no accelerated GLmod, his can be usually fixed by updating the video card drivers", I updated my device drivers, tried force updating and everything, and I don't know what to do. Anyone know what I should do to get it to work plz?

Are you using a new computer or your old computer?

I wouldn't call it new but it's still fairly good, from about 2 or 3 years ago

It's not my crappy laptop

What make and model is your video card?
