I just downloaded the vista 32bit (my origional version operating system) which for some reason win8 allowed to install this time. from acer, my laptop manufacturer. oh happy days. |

Because Microsoft decided to throw OpenGL support away. BTW: Where did you get your drivers from? Intel directly or from Microsoft? |

Because Mojang doesn't write the code for the graphics cards. They write the game code, and rely on your drivers to correctly display stuff. There is nothing they can do. Minecraft is not refusing to work with certain graphics cards. |

I believe its something Mojang could resolve. and therefore is a bug. I know it works for some win 8 machines (the newer ones) Why cant mojang put a fix, if my graphics card works, is up to date, why cant minecraft accept it and just work? |
