How can I update my video card driver for a Dell Inspiron 1505?

I want to play Minecraft but when I do on my Dell Inspiron it shows 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.

So, I'm wondering how I can do this.|||From the model of your laptop, I suppose that you have an Intel Graphics Media Accelarator in your laptop as the main display adapter. Now the driver depends on the OS which u are using. I have found this drivers:

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_D…



Try them out and check if they are working. Also you can try the CD that came with ur laptop. It should contain all the drivers.|||Go to start, click control panel, click system, click hardware, click devise manager tab, scroll to graphics/video card right click it click properties, click update driver, click apply and save.



Download the driver by model number and installed operating system from http://www.support.dell.com|||Did you think to go to Dell's website and check their support pages for the latest drivers?
