so i recently installed windows 8 on my computer and i downloaded minecraft to install and play. i launch the game and 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.

What's In The Box integrated microphone
yea, i know, its a really low end pc but i could play MC on med settings and get about 28 fps when i had windows 7. i tried updating the drivers through device manager and through intel's site and device manager said i was up to date and the intel driver didnt work (canceled itself while starting). im wondering if any 1 knows the cause of this and also how i can fix. if you do please tell.

Thanks for your feedback
