Alright, i was using Windows 7 and had Minecraft working. Then i switched operating systems to Ubuntu 10.10 and Minecraft worked. Now i'm back on Windows 7 and i'm getting this error

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.
