Can't play Minecraft on Windows 8

[JGelb]

I have recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8, and before I upgraded to Windows 8, I had no issues at all, but whenever I try to boot up Minecraft, I get this message:

---- Minecraft Crash Report ----

Hello,

I had the same error in my old computer when i installed windows 8 pro when i had windows 7.

What you need to do is update your graphic drivers, and if that's not enough, you need to install Open GL for your graphic card.

Hope it helps

What Kevin_Maatman daid is correct, however, keep in mind that the drivers for that video controller are only provided by the operating system itself, so any driver updated would only be available through Windows* updates.

At Intel's downloadcenter, there will be just drivers for Microsoft* Windows* 7 and this video controller.
