So im trying to play some games such as minecraft but it seems like i need to update my drivers but I checked a million times and it says they're all up to date. I checked the amd auto checker and the windows one. What should i do?

Hi there
You need to download the latest drivers from the AMD website.
I see that you are running the Microsoft version of the driver which will only give you basic display capability with little or no gaming support.

Can you still play the game or is it just a message? If everything is running smooth as of now, no need to update them.

for minecraft this is what it says "Pixel Format Not Accelerated" and im not able to go past that. I also get similar problems such as with red faction guerilla it give me this message "video card does not support shader model 3.0" when it said on the can you run it website that i have the right specs to run the game.

I'm unable to find my graphics card drivers and the auto detect that they have tells me i have the latest drivers.

What's your current CCC (AMD - Catalyst Control Center) driver? Also - was this due to an update prior?

Is this a laptop or a desktop? If it's a laptop, get the drivers from ACER not AMD/ATI.

Uninstall whatever you have installed for AMD drivers now, reboot, install from ACER support site.

No, desktop video cards run a lot better with the drivers from AMD.

Hi,
Reading through the log you originally posted seems to indicate that you might have other drivers missing.
Try installing all the motherboard/system drivers from this link and see if that helps?
http://www.driverscape.com/manufacturers/acer/laptops-desktops/aspire-m1200-3200-5200/394

Otherwise download the same from the Acer site and see if that helps.
