Minecraft Bad Video Card driver error help?

When I try launching Minecraft, the screen goes black and I get this error message:





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've tried Google, and I've tried re installing Java and updating my GPU's drivers, but still nothing.



GPU: ATI Radeon HD 3200

CPU: AMD Athlon Dual Core Processor BE-2300 at 2GHz

2GBs of RAM|||It is a problem with how Minecraft uses Java.



Try the fix on this page

put your minecraft.exe in any folder, just make sure you copy the path, and rename it to minecraft.jar



then open notepad, paste this line



java -Xmx800m -jar "PATH\Minecraft.jar



paste the path to the folder where minecraft is into PATH



then click save -> save it as NAME.bat (NAME can be anything that you want)



then from now on, double-click this NAME.bat file to open minecraft... and do not close the cmd that will open...



example:



I put minecraft.jar on C:\



so on notepad I do this:

java -Xmx800m -jar "C:\Minecraft.jar

Try reducing Hardware Acceleration

Type

desk.cpl

in run

Settings Tab

Advanced button

Troubleshoot Tab

Move the slider down to half

Click Apply|||make sure you your video card is really ATI radeon HD3200 and not 3100 or something.

you can try uninstalling your driver and install it again.

make sure you have all the directx files.....

open up dxdiag, and make sure your OpenGl mode is turned on....
