please help when i go to play i get this screen

  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....

1) what video card and laptop do you have?

Minecraft isn't that high quality of a game but it does require a bit

2) Is your screen having an errors ie. missing pixels?

3) can you run other games ok? If so, then it might just be minecraft

yeah

it's definitely your video card... its not powerful enough to run games, only display internet and your normal desktop. Your can buy others online or order a newer computer,
has the game ever worked on your desktop before? if not, im sorry but your computer just cannot handle the game :(
