I cannot start minecraft because my video card is not fully updated, How do i fix it?

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.

I'm afraid that the ONLY way around this is to purchase a discrete (plug in) video card, which will fit into the PCI-E x16 slot on your motherboard.



Some more bad news is that your computer comes with a 300W PSU (Power Supply Unit), which will limit your upgrade options. You may find that you'll need to buy a more powerful PSU too.



Edit:



I've just noticed your additional information about having a NVIDIA 9400 GT video card. Try downloading, and installing, the latest drivers from the NVIDIA (USA) website.
