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.

well it would help us to help you if you post the full specs of the system.

that way we can know what we are dealing with

+ 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.

[makarov]

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

[makarov]

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

Use this link on the Intel site to get the best graphics drivers for your GPU:
http://www.intel.com...detect/graphics


This should find your Intel GPU drivers and install the correct version (and those have OpenGL support)

[makarov]

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

Have you downloaded and installed one of these drivers?

Intel Driver Download

Try uninstalling the video card driver and then installing from one of these packages.
