Hello, I'm relatively new here (probably should make a newbie intro post but idc this is improtant to me) and I can't play minecraft. When I try to I get the message shown bellow



      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.
