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.

Someone know how to fix it?Sorry for wasting your time

 

      Bad 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.
