Bad video cards...AGAIN?

[ebay_for_life]

Okay, I finally got Tekkit Launcher working on my PC, technic works fine, but when I try Tekkit ( I havnt tried any others) It comes up with:

"Mods loaded: 1

ModLoader 1.1

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.

The problem I see is that MC Launcher works fine without the above 'Bad Video Cards...' and like I said above, Technic ssp works perfectly fine.

*screw you, non pastebin error report*

update your graphics card drivers, and if it is an ATI, check if OpenGL is enabled fully in the Catalyst Control Center. If it is a Nvidia (so much better, btw, ATI's are cheaper, but less powerful), check for OpenGL acceleration in the control panel.

try deleting the tekkit folder in your .techniclauncher folder, then download again. why? because i'm pretty sure something downloaded wrong, if the only thing it's loading is modloader

This has been caused by too much RAM being assigned to the client. Try changing that to 512MB or 1GB if you have that much. Also, compare your Technic to Tekkit assigned memory just to see if there's a difference.

thanks, it was set on 1.somthing.

Also, if the problem still happens, just disable OpenGL. Some older graphics cards do not have support for it at all.

Some older graphics cards do not have support for it at all.

That's pretty much impossible unless you talk about stuff that's older than 20 years.

Also, Minecraft can't work without OpenGL.

I am having the same problem. I tried your suggestion of changing the RAM usage on the Options window to the lowest setting, but nothing has changed.

:(

OP: Have you, by chance, done the suggested for video card drivers and OpenGL checks?

[TheGuy]

Try this:

(IDK if this is for windows xp)

Go to start > Run...

type in "dxdiag" without the quotes

Go to the "display" tab

Google "drivers for <insert GPU model name here>"

????

Profit!
