    What's your graphic card model?

    ---

    Java is up-to-date already.

    Make sure to install latest driver (version 8.15.10.1930) from the manufacturer official website [ https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?... ].

    Minecraft requires a graphics card supporting OpenGL 2.0 or better (for occlusion culling [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occlusion_culling#Oc... ]), while your graphic card support OpenGL up to 1.4.

    You might try to disable disable Advanced OpenGL. Open the Star menu, type "%appdata%" (without quotes) in the search bar and press Enter. Open the .minecraft folder and locate the options.txt file, if any. If it reads "advancedOpengl:true", change it to "advancedOpengl:false" (without quotes) and save.

    Simple, update your video card drivers so they are compatible with Win7. Just find out what graphics cards you have and get the drivers from the manufacturer's website (usually AMD or Nvidia)
