So i tried the MC demo ( type in minecraft demo on Google to get it ) and when i tried to run it this message came up 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. --- BEGIN ERROR REPORT 7fe0271 -------- Generated 25/11/11 15:15 Minecraft: Minecraft Demo (PC Gamer) OS: Windows XP (x86) version 5.1 Java: 1.6.0_29, Sun Microsystems Inc.
