Mindcrack/FTB Problems

[TheDemopan64]

Whenever I try to start up Mindcrack on my new computer which has Windows 8, I find myself greeted with the "Bad Video Card Driver" message. This somehow doesn't happen on my Windows 7 computer, which is located at my house. Here is the Error Report:

If I have left out any necessary information, please tell me so I can include it. Also, if you can help me, please simplify your advice. I'm not very good with computer talk.

Try reinstalling your graphics drivers.

 

[TheDemopan64]

And... how do I do that? I seriously have no idea.

 

[iMontouch]

If you dont know which graphiccard you have, you should use "GPU-Z" to find out. Then you can google for "[YOURGRAPHICSCARDNAME] driver Windows 8"

post here if you need further help

And then from there I can learn how to reinstall it without taking apart my computer, right?

 

[TheSandwichMakr]

Yes, all you have to do is uninstall the old drivers from the control panel, then download and run the installer for the new drivers.

 

[TheDemopan64]

Confirmation, because I am stupid: Uninstall driver from control panel, do stuff, and then install the driver back in? Because my intent is to uninstall my current driver and install it again.

 

[TheSandwichMakr]

Yup

 

[TheDemopan64]

And where will I find the option to install my old driver? In the control panel, correct?

 

[UniZero]

Yes in the control panel under programs. You may want to download the driver first before you remove it though.

 

[Booker The Geek]

You should also update your java to the latest version.

Alright I have more information. My video card is an Nvidia GeForce GT 630. I had three drivers from the Nvidia website installed, all of them did not work. They were the 314.22, the 310.90, and the 320.18. Also, I physically removed my video card and put it back into my computer. Furthermore, this GeForce Experience application I have says that I outright have no video card installed. My motherboard apparently has an existing video card installed, but disabled.
To wrap it up, I installed three drivers to possibly fix my problem. All failed. I removed my video card and put it back in my computer physically. That did not work either. My GeForce Experience application says I don't have an Nvidia card installed, even when my device manager says so.

-EDIT- And I think I forgot to mention my device manager says my GeForce GT 630 card was stopped because it reported a problem with the addition of a Code 43.

 

[Booker The Geek]

Here, these should help.

1. Download the driver for the GT630
2. Go to the java website and download the latest java
3. Google and download JavaRa
4. Turn your computer off .
5. Count to 100. (or wait a min, whichever is longer)
6. Reboot your computer
7. Open the program manager and uninstall ...
   • Everything to do with Java
   • Everything to do with Nvidia
   • Everything to do with GeForce
8. Restart the computer
9. Run JavaRa and Uninstall everything Java
10. Restart your computer again.
11. Install the Java you downloaded earlier
12. Install the LATEST video card driver for your card
13. Restart again.

Now....

1. Backup your Minecraft and FTB
2. Make sure you backed up everything you want to keep
3. Delete the following
   • Your FTB folder
   • Your FTBLauncher folder
   • Your Minecraft folder
4. Re-download Minecraft, install and launch. Working? Good, continue on.
5. Re-download FTB. Save it to "C:\FTB" without the quotes.
6. Create a shortcut to it on your desktop.
7. Launch FTB from the shortcut. Did it launch? Good, continue on.
8. It will ask where to install, if it does not, you did something wrong. Install it to "C:\FTB", again without the quotes.
9. Install your modpack and play.

If it still does not work, please follow the link in my signature about log files and post them to pastebin and link to them here please.

Hello everyone, I got an update. I completely did a factory reset on my computer, but it didn't work. I'll now try Booker's suggestion above this one, as I am posting this after the factory reset which I did before reading Booker's help.
