I just tried installing the latest version of Forge on my computer, but it has an error message: "BAD VIDEO CARD DRIVERS!"

I deleted META-INF, updated my drivers, and started with a clean MC installation, I have no mods installed, but it still says that the OpenGL fails to work.

 

Here is the MC error mesage:

      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.

Before adding FML, MC always worked for me without the this error.

 

Thanks for the help.

Try adjusting how much memory is allocated to Minecraft, in my case dropping it to 512MB solves it, but on other PC's increasing it has solved it.

Still indicates that lwjgl and/or video drivers need to be updated.

I'll try updating LWJGL, but all graphics-related drivers are updated. I'll post after I try...

Nothing. It doesn't like me. 

Try the most recent forge. Also, can you try FML standalone? Also are you using a launcher?

I am using the most recent forge that is listed. I am using the original MC launcher (minecraft.exe). I didn't even know there was an FML launcher. And what is a standalone?
