Re: How to accrelate openGL mode for minecraft
First check the open GL requirements of the game.
Secondly what is your graphics device?
Built-in Intel? AMD or NVidia?
Sadly not much can be done with Intel gfx cards.

How do you find what kind of graphics device,but mine is probally Intel,everything else kinda is.

It dosent tell me the OpenGL Requirements,this is the whole thing "
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.

Download and run the OpenGL Viewer; it will tell you what you have.

Got the same problem, but I got a standard VGA graphic adapter. which version of openGL do I need to download, and where can I?
Re: How to accrelate openGL mode for minecraft
You have to download the drivers for your video card. It is included in it.
