I recently got a new computer. I keep getting the error below. The display device is ATI Radeon 3000, while "Run" says I am using Microsoft Basic Display Driver. I have tried updating Radeon itself,  but have had no fixes. I currently run on AMD FX Processor Black Edition, what can I do?

"The game crashed whilst initializing game

Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: GLFW error 65542: WGL: The driver does not appear to support OpenGL

    Hi DP. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 9 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

    Microsoft Display adapter is never meant to run with permanently, only a placeholder until the correct driver is installed.

    Update the Display driver from the PC or Display adapter maker's Support Downloads web page for your exact model number, HP Serial Number or Dell Service Tag - from the sticker on the PC.

    While there check also for newer chipset, BIOS, network, sound, USB3 and other drivers, comparing to the ones presently installed in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start Menu.

    if this doesn't give you the latest or ideal driver for what you need, compare it to the driver offered by AMD autodect utility here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/P...

    For Display issues one fix that is working is to Roll back or Uninstall the Driver on the Display Device > Driver tab, restart PC to reinstall driver.

    You can also try older drivers in Device Manager > Display device > Driver tab > Update Driver > Browse > Let Me Pick.

    Then you will know you've tried everything in addition to Windows Update drivers.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

    Looking further into your GPU I found this information I would read through and try the suggested possible fixes:

    https://community.amd.com/thread/195729

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

    You said you have a new PC, but it has an old GPU. If this is correct then I'd consider replacing the video card with one compatible with WIndows 10.
