hi
when i try to run minecraft it comes up with this error messsage :

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.

Have you tried deleting it all and reinstalling it?

I've gotten similar errors and reinstalled, and it worked fine after.
