2014-03-24T15:02:16+00:00 Hi Aidan,
OpenGL error usually means a problem with the graphics card. Please check if you graphics card support OpenGL. If it supports, then you have to install OpenGL.
I would also suggest you to reinstall the graphics card driver and check if it helps.
To uninstall graphics card driver from Device Manager, follow these steps.
a. Press Windows Key + X, chooseDevice Manager.
b. Expand the Display Adapters.
c. Right-click on the graphics card driver and click on Uninstall.
Restart the computer. Download and install the graphics card driver from AMD.

After reinstalling the drivers if the issue persits, then I would suggest that you to post your query in Minecraft forum.
