Bad Drivers Minecraft Error

Muffinator

I recently built  computer and I installed the latest drivers. When I start Minecraft I get this error:

Looks like the drivers lack OpenGL support. What graphics card do you have?

Update your video card drivers. What gpu do you have?

Yeah. Exept it was the 64 bit version.

 

You're running a 32-bit copy of Windows 7 though.

Just remembered that I need to update windows... That might be the issue. Trying that now.

It says in my System Properties that I do have a 64-bit operating system.

Not an expert at all on the subject, but could it be Java interfering? Wrong Java version, I mean. Honestly, whenever I've had Minecraft issues, no matter the error, I just update Java, and it works again. At one point I had the wrong Java installed - the 32bit version on my 64bit Windows - that screwed up Minecraft also...

I got the same message when my Java wasn't up to date. It would not let me log in to MC or go online in Java games. That may be the problem. If not, you may want to get a new GPU and stop using the integrated one. P.S. I like your processor ;)

I sometimes get that when I have some mods installed, if you do try un-installing them and try again

Try making a .bat file with the line:

java -Xmx800m -jar "Minecraft.jar"

Put this in the same folder as your Minecraft.exe file and change the .exe extension to a .jar extension.
