Video card driver help?

I have no clue what im doing but im trying to run mine craft but it says



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.

So can anyone tell me why i cant run mine craft plz help|||http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.asp…



is the link you're looking for. Click on "Graphic Drivers" under option 2. This will ask to install an ActiveX control which you accept. After that it'll scan your system and give you the correct drivers. I was going to link you directly to the download page, but I think the auto tool would be much more suited for your system.



You've got an integrated video card, and generally those can be misdiagnosed for video card drivers because their drivers come with the motherboard drivers.



Anyways, follow the prompts, do the install. You may have to restart depending on what operating system you're using. After that it should work. If not you'll want to install DirectX, but it says there you've got DirectX 9. That should be good enough for simple games.



**Edit: Good call Milan, I just didn't recognize it because I was too young when that was released lol.

It's not integrated, it's just really old. Still, the auto detect should work out. Either instruction is adequate.**|||Go to nVidia and update your drivers!|||This is a legacy device and has drivers only supporting windows XP and previous operating systems.

The device driver has not had a update since July 27 2004.All you can do is try downloading the driver from here http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.asp… You will have to select "legacy" in first box then "TNT and TNT2 series" in second box then OS.

If that driver doesnt work then your device may simply be to old to support Minecraft|||>Its an ANCIENT video card made in 1999, see this:

Open GL is almost never used anymore - basically, its out of date. The video card is ancient. I would be surprised if you could even find drivers older than maybe the year 2002 for that card. Buy a new video card is the answer.
