Resolved - Can no longer launch Minecraft.

[Jkjkelly1]

I reinstalled my operating system yesterday, and when I tried to launch minecraft this morning, I got an error saying that my graphical drivers need to be updated.

I go to try to update my drivers: my intel is still working, my AMD card has stopped.

any advice?

Pretty sure it has something to do with this.

Options to try:

1. restart your computer
2. remove the .minecraft folder from appdata, and try running it again
3. update your drivers(http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?)
4. Be angry and eat some cake. then try again.

Fixed it.

When I went to install microsoft updates last night, some of them failed and needed to be reinstalled. I reinstalled them and now it's working... And yes, I did eat some cake.

Now I just gotta figure out why I can't connect to steam/minecraft through my schools internet...

Probably filtered.

If they only look at your DNS queries, you could bypass it by forcing your computer to only use Google DNS.

That's what I thought too, until I saw my others connected on servers/steam. However, the administrators have started blocking some websites for me, such as reddit and youtube.

Whatever, it's not a big deal.
