Another OpenGL Thread.

So, I get this Minecraft Error:
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.

System Info & Graphic Card:

Picture is too big: http://i.imgur.com/771wr.png (I think you should be able to get what you want from this altough it's in german. If you have questions just state them below.)

I've tried all sorts of drivers. Please help me.
Edit: All Graphic Card Drivers are updated. Please don't give me the: Have you tried updating your drivers ?

OK, I had this issue at first....

My GT555M was giving me a similar message even though
Windows said that the drivers were up-to-date.

So, I went to the Nvidia website, and got the latest drivers
from there, then installed them, rather than the drivers
Windows installs by default..

Problem fixed, all my openGL stuff works again.

Here's a link to the latest Nvidia driver for your GT410M...

NVIDIA DRIVERS 306.97WHQL

Hope this helps.

I tried that several times, used both 32 Bit and 64 Bit. Another Problem is that I can't even get them to install correctly. It says that the driver isn't compatible (If I spell it like that, I will check on that) with the Windows Version, which in this case is Windows 8.

 

[Kat]

You COULD try the 301.42 version drivers.

They're a couple of months old now, but that was the version that fixed my issues.

You MAY have to remove the current driver in Device Manager or Programs & Features
before you install the new driver.....

 

[Miza]

Nope. I still get the compatibility (Spelling for the win) error.

 

[alphastar]

Then maybe the newer GeForce 310.33 Beta?

BTW, you should either be on 32-bit or 64-bit, but not both. Check with Win+X -> System, then look under System type.

Edit: Nevermind, your first post confirms it's 64-bit. Also, you're running Release Preview (Build 8400), so that might explain it.
