[TheHappyMiner]

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.

im using the latest graphics drivers and, weirdly, i dont get this error message when running regular minecraft[1.6.2] any help will be greatly appreciated.

also, if it matters, dxdiag says im using a mobile intel 945 express chipset family. chip type GMA 950. im using the latest drivers as i updated them yesterday.

You're using integrated graphics that clearly don't support OpenGL like Minecraft expects. Get a proper video card.

Intergrated graphics suck plain and simple. Trust me even a cheap dedicated video card makes a huge difference as far as overall performance is concerned. I put a basic $100 ATI 6750 in my computer. I went from 15 fps on lowest setting for my racing sim to 100 plus stable running the graphics full blast. This is from a off the self HP I got at Wal-Mart for $500 3 years ago with AMD Athalon II 4 core and 5 gigs of ram. No where near a purpose built Gaming Rig. $600 total and 3 years later I can still run all my games at at least 40 fps including anything that has come out in the last 6 months. But I admit it is time for an upgrade she is. starting to show her age. Sniff sniff

ok i will get a better graphics card (if anyone has any recommendations then that will be greatly appreciated) that still doesent answer the question of why it only does this in technic launcher though?

[theskull251]

Go to Newegg.com, and look through the video cards they have. You will find everything from low end dirt cheap cards to the best money can buy. Caution though some cards even on the low end require power directly from the power supply.
