Well today I just got windows 8 pre-release for my laptop, and when i went to play minecraft, it said this:
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.

well there is no update for my video card driver, and yesterday, when I still had official windows 7, it was fine!
Can anybody please give me some help?
In the .minecraft folder is a file called options.txt you can open that and ensure that 'advancedOpengl:false'
If it is already false, or changing it to false doesn't help you need to wait for the manufacturer of your video card to release drivers for windows 8.
