ok so i got this old freebie computer from school and put on a copy of windows seven on it. so i was going to run a mincraft server of it...

and this happens.

 

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.

+ 1, We can't help much without that.

 

Also, did you install graphics drivers yourself, or use the Windows 7 defaults? If I recall correctly, the default Win 7 drivers for ATI & Nvidia cards do not have OpenGL support.

You'll need to download the latest drivers for the graphics card from the manufacturer's site.

This is from my phone so I can't put up the specs till I get home.

 

I did try the manufacture website (acer) and for my particular model it didn't have win 7 drivers. Because the computer was never sold with Windows seven

Right

Motherboard:acer model number: 946GZT-AM V:1.0

Cpu: Celeron D 2005 @ 3.2ghz

Graphics: on board

All the other parts don't matter right

Hope this helps you to help me

yea i had already tried that auto update tool. it says that i curently have the latest drivers.

 

anyway i also ran the intel system identify which said my graphics was this: Intel® 946GZ that was hyperlinked so you click on that and this comes up:http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/highlights/graphics/intel946gz

on that page i see OpenGL* Support Web Link so i click on that

anyway cut a long story short that lead me back to manualy update driver tool which is where i started. and i cant use that because my particular model isnt on the list.

i feel like im going round in circles. :(

 

here's what ive found so far:

GRAPHICS INFORMATION

Graphics Product [1] Intel® 946GZ

Graphics Driver Version not detected

Driver Status Your driver is current
