DRIVERS HELP!?minecraft error.tired of not having acceleration in video cards?

Question

ok ok i recently updated to windows 8 and ever since whenever i try to play minecraft i get 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.

go into your bios and spot in case you could desire to disable the integrated pix. in case you could it's going to make your computing gadget consistently use the 7470M pix card, aswell as liberate the ram the integrated pix are taking. in case you cant, then go into your catalyst administration midsection and verify you have it to intense overall performance (skill saving might use the integrated pix). additionally verify you utilize the "intense overall performance" skill plan on your skill concepts, and make confident in there you have the pix set to overall performance. in case you do this, and function acquire image drivers from amd, then you definately ought to/would be utilising your amd pix card.
