Gaming Can't play minecraft

[MrCooper]

I have a Pentium 1 and 512KB of RAM and a 16MB hard disk, and what is this?

This is you falling through a time warp. How does GBATemp look in 16-bit colour btw?

Sounds more like 8-Bit to me lol

 

[MrCooper]

here is the screenshot from gpuz i'm still not sure what to download...

if i read that right your GPU is the (NV34) which is nVidia GeForce FX5200 which is ancient and doesnt even have proper driver support for windows 7

i did manage to find a driver that "might" work so it cant hurt to give it a try
BE WARNED THIS IS A VERY OLD DRIVER AND MAY NOT WORK AT ALL Fx5200 support ended with windows vista RC2 (run it in compatibility mode for vista if it refuses to install)

Edit: Fixed the link i managed to break it somehow lol

Compatibility mode with drivers just sucks and if you do get it to work it runs horribly

Next time don't upgrade your outdated machine to the latest OS in existence. It'd probably run quicker in XP than 7

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.

1.6.22 = Java 6 Update 22, for example.

They just leave the "1." off the front of the name nowadays.
