Hi there... I'm new to minecraft, rather...

And... I needed to know if I could get pointed in the right direction...

As soon as I purchased the game, I went directly to launch it...

I was met with this message:
     
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.

I tried to find the newest driver for my video card GeForce FX 5200, but to no avail...

After searching manually, I allowed NVIDIA's very website to scan my machine to see if it could detect which update I was eligible for...

Once again, I was met with no helpful results.

I know this is probably a common issue, but I would greatly appreciate anyone helping me resolve this directly, or pointing me in the right direction at the least.
