Okay so here is my problem...
I need a no BS help to get minecraft working again.
Its the usual OGL bug linked to an apparently outdated graphics card driver. My drivers are all up-to-date but here is my suspected snag
-Windows8 Premium-, search up the bug if i have not posted the error report yet
the reason im running win8p is because of a major breakdown of my computer that i could not fix, i had to send it off for repairs and
to do so they had to wipe the entire machine and re-install the OS but they didn't have Vista Home Premium (preferable) or windows7.
Dont gripe about me having windows8, its not ideal but i would like to get back onto the server as soon as possible, same as anybody else.
So does anybody know anything aside from the obvious (which has been tried and failed) to fix the issue?
p.s sorry for being abrupt and slightly overbearing, every other time i see win8 in support forums it usualy turns into a hate fest of people saying to downgrade, but thats not an option for me as win8 is like lifesupport for my pc right now. (5yr old Acer gaming tower is already in its grave, im pretty much using a zombie pc)
okay, got the error report.

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.
