How do I update my Video Card Drivers?

I opened up minecraft and this message appeared in the middle of my screen

' 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.

~I have a HP with Windows XP(2000 I think)~|||Keep in mind that your machine might still be too old to support the game.



Go to the manufacturer's website, to Support > Drivers and Downloads (or similar) and download the most recent driver installer pack for your specific model of machine and Windows version.|||It depends on your graphics card.. If it's an ATI/AMD card, go here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pa…



If it's an nVidia card, go here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.asp…|||this is a free database of drivers to download http://drp.su/



If you need to update your drivers often , driver updating software can be a good time saver:
