I decided to try and join the SMP server again after messing around with Java and my Video card drivers but I still get this 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.
