[FIX] Crash at start due to "pixal format not accelerated"
Got problems starting PZ, here is a screenshot: Imgur[imgur.com]
Also I should mention that Minecraft (which is java-based) does not start on my laptop, for some reason.
//EDIT: [fix!]

I got it to work guys!!! I downloaded the legacy drivers and figured out that the graphic drivers DO NOT install with the ccc 13.1 legacy due to some unknown reason. So I went to Device Manager, right-click to update my graphic card, and manually installed the drivers by locating the .inf file of the drivers!

Take one of the .inf file ( I took c71..) and then it should install the driver " ATI Mobility RADEON HD 4500/5100 Series". Finally I can start every java-powered game!

Naw, nothing changed. I'm trying to install old drivers, maybe the OpenGL of the old ones are getting recognized.
//Downloading the 10.7 beta driver right now

You gotta use the drivers dedicated to your Graphic Card.
