Minecraft? Bad Video Card Drivers?

Today I tried to play MineCraft and got this nice message...




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.

What does it mean and how can I rectify it? Thanks....

Update your video card drivers, I'm guessing.

AMD
Nvidia

If you don't know what kind of card you have, try using GPUZ to identify.

Any chance that fixed it? It's also possible that your graphics card can't use Open GL, in which case you'd be SOL as it were.
