Hey Skial; basically need this in order to fix my bad video card driver error on Minecraft. I remember fixing this error a very long time ago, but the HD Graphics drivers are so messy that I can't find it again.

Thanks guys!

Error Log:
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.

Edit: I have updated my drivers using the Intel Driver Update Utility, but it seems my driver is current.

It's Java, not openGL, you might need to get a better video card, you on a PC or laptop?

Also, the Core i3 series doesn't come with integrated graphics on the chip.

Huh? Since when Java became a GPU technology?

No it does.

Code:

Guys, stop worshiping Linux. I think that Linux is a great OS for enterprise use, but not for residential use. I am RHCSA certified dude who is managing 15 RHEL Server 6 boxes, but I would never deploy Linux at home.

Actually, I was just poking fun at Nothing. :D

It sounds to me like a corrupted driver install...

Try reinstalling your video drivers. If that doesn't work get yourself a copy of Driver Sweeper, clean off the old driver, and then reinstall again.
