Hi

I have
noted this is a concern with a number of Minecraft players with
error Begin 7fe0271 End 64682495 “was unable to start because it failed to find
an accelerated OpenGL mode”.
May I say that I find it difficult to fathom as to why Minecraft will not play
as my Notepad was purposely bought for World of Warcraft and of late
Star Wars and they work just fine?
My working system comprises of
• System Model MS-163A
• Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
• Intel CoreDuo CPU

• 4g Ram
• OpenGL Version 1.1 Driver Version vga 6.1.7600.16385 14/07/2009 which I
checked and is up to date so it indicated
• DirectX 11 Java 7
• Microsoft has all current updates
I have gone through Personalization/Display/Screen Resolution/Advanced
settings/Troubleshoot/Change settings and changed to level 3 with no luck.
Also Right clicked on Minecraft Screen Icon through properties and tried
adjusting Compatibility and Settings.
I have installed OpenGL Extension to verify settings and updates which is all
good to go, I deleted Java as suggested and reinstalled Java JDK 7 v6 x64 and
tried going through Java/View and adjusting Runtime Parameters to -Xincgc
–Xmx2048M and other variations just need any ideas from NVIDIA Forum please.
I had a reply back from another forum saying “no wonder Minecraft reports that
error. It's simply because you don't have a proper graphics driver installed.
Since the MS-163A ha a NVIDIA 8600M-GT installed, you can pick up this driver”
which I did with no success.

download.nvidia.com/window...ional-whql.exe

I was then asked to download the GPU Caps Viewer and check what version of
OpenGL is supported. Geeks3D GPU Caps Viewer 1.16.0
The information
I received was On Heading GPU Driver indicated "No Graphics driver
detected" under that OpenGL Core: 1.1
On Heading OpenGL indicates - GL_Rendering GDI Generic and nothing in
GL_Version and GLSL Version
The response back was “This means it's falling back to Windows GL software
rendering since the driver installation didn't work. Unless you manage to install
a driver by NVIDIA you're screwed”.
Do I need to buy a driver update?
Waiting in anticipation

Error Report Supplied - 

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.
