Posted October 3, 201212 yr 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. --- BEGIN ERROR REPORT 7fe0271 -------- Generated 20:00 03/10/12 - Minecraft Version: 1.3.2 - Operating System: Windows XP (x86) version 5.1 - Java Version: 1.7.0_07, Oracle Corporation - Java VM Version: Java HotSpot Client VM (mixed mode), Oracle Corporation - Memory: 394852128 bytes (376 MB) / 518979584 bytes (494 MB) up to 1037959168 bytes (989 MB) - JVM Flags: 2 total; -Xms512m -Xmx1024m - FML: ~ERROR~ NullPointerException: null - LWJGL: 2.4.2 - OpenGL: ~ERROR~ NullPointerException: null - Is Modded: Definitely; 'forge,fml' - Type: Client - Texture Pack: ~ERROR~ NullPointerException: null - Profiler Position: N/A (disabled)[failed to get system properties (java.lang.NullPointerException)] org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated at org.lwjgl.opengl.WindowsPeerInfo.nChoosePixelFormat(Native Method) at org.lwjgl.opengl.WindowsPeerInfo.choosePixelFormat(WindowsPeerInfo.java:52) at org.lwjgl.opengl.WindowsDisplay.createWindow(WindowsDisplay.java:185) at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.createWindow(Display.java:311) at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.create(Display.java:856) at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.create(Display.java:784) at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.create(Display.java:765) at net.minecraft.client.Minecraft.a(Minecraft.java:393) at net.minecraft.client.Minecraft.run(Minecraft.java:737) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) --- END ERROR REPORT 8bb6e96a ---------- Someone know how to fix it?Sorry for wasting your time
October 3, 201212 yr 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.
October 10, 201212 yr 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.
