hello there:

I keep getting the message: Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL model This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers. 

I tried to run the game on 3 of my computers and all 3 give me that message. my PC uses Nvidia 6800 and i did update the drivers but it did not help, still got that message. Please help me get this game to run :(

I did read countless posts on other forums but they did not seem to help.


Here is my complete error:


      Bad video card drivers!
