Forge wont work for me

[ForgeError]

First time i try install something into minecraft so maybe its something wrong i did

Anyway i searched for tutorials and stuff and they said to delete META-INF and just drag the files from the forge zip to minecraft.jar

I did and i get this error:

 

 

 

      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.

Self-explanatory. Update your graphics card driver. What graphics card do you have anyways? I've never seen this before.

I had this same problem when running Minecraft with recent versions of Forge on my netbook (vanilla runs fine.)

 

How I worked around it:

I set the minimum memory requirements for java to 256M (from 512M) to allow a little more system memory left over for my weak video card to use for whatever Forge is now doing differently at start up (I think LexManos made a comment about it swapping textures.)

 

In MultiMC I do this by clicking "Instance Settings" button, "Java" tab, and changing minimum memory allocation from 512 to 256.

 

From the command line (with a shortcut) you would make this change by calling java.exe with -Xms256m instead of -Xms512m.

 

 

My better solution is to just run minecraft from my desktop, but I don't always have that with me.
