Any time I open Minecraft I get 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.

You just need to download new drivers. You don't have to buy a whole new card.

No idea

Download Speccy and check there. There's another way of doing this too, but I don't remember how to do it without installing third party software.
Anyways.

Download this ^ and check what graphics card you got there. If it's an Nvidia go to
[url]http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/indexsg.aspx?lang=en-uk[/url]
And either choose manually what card you have or go to option 2 and click the "Graphics Drivers" button.

Go to start run (if you are using windows 7 its in accessories)
and type dxdiag. It might ask to connect to the internet just click no.
A window will pop up. Click on the second tab called Display.
In the section where it says device, it should have a name. Post what you find
