Hi, could use a little help getting Minecraft back to working order. After clicking PLAY we get the message 'The game crashed whilst initializing game". the Error says pixel format not accelerated.
After its been installed, you may also need to go through the Nvidia Control Panel to make sure Java (or simply all programs) are set to run with the Nvidia hardware.
I can't be too sure, but I guess the more experienced problem solvers will be able to help better - but most google results I found about 'Pixel Format not accelerated' seem to point towards one of three main reasons
1) Graphic card not capable of running Minecraft
2) Outdated Graphic Drivers
3) Windows 10 - incompatible drivers
As you can see it mainly seems to point toward your graphics card capabilities
Going to the nvidia site it looks like the latest set of drivers for that card are 390.77 released 29th Jan 2018.
I guess you could try updating your graphic drivers & seeing what happens

Here is my DxDiag report

Do I just need some type of driver? Could you tell me which and where to get them?
Thank you

Looking at the DXDiag log it looks like you have a NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M (notebook) graphics card with version 21.21.13.6909 drivers.
(Further research seems to indicate these are Microsoft's own version & were released back in January 2016 )

I downloaded the newest release of NVIDIA GeForce and Minecraft is up and running!
Thank you for your help!!
