Can't run Minecraft with updated drivers?

Alright, i was using Windows 7 and had Minecraft working. Then i switched operating systems to Ubuntu 10.10 and Minecraft worked. Now i'm back on Windows 7 and i'm getting 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.

Everything on my computer is fully updated. My drivers are updated my java is updated. Everything is updated.

How do i fix this? My Minecraft addiction needs to be satisfied!
This is the GFX card i have been using the whole time on all of these os's
Nvidia GeForce 1650SE nForce 430.

 

Have you installed DirectX 9.0c yet? It fills in some compatibility holes that aren't covered by DX10 and 11.

 

hmm thanks for the reply, i'm trying this as i type.



Yeah... it didn't work but thanks for the answer.

 

Which Java? 64 or 32? Looks like you have 64bit installed. Uninstall it and install 32bit Java and run Minecraft from the browser. Minecraft doesn't like 64bit Java, at least for me. And strangely, the Minecraft launcher looks for 64bit Java...so I run it from the browser with this link --->Click!

 

For some weird reason i looked for the 32 bit download and i couldn't find it. I searched the whole site and all it had was 64 bit and 32 for other os's.

 

Just choose any download choice except the 64bit one from this link ---> Click!

 

It did not work, i tried both client and the web client but i got the same error.
