Con you run the older versions of Minecraft?
I think so? idk, I know for sure the new versions works fine, I can play literally anything.
why?
I was thinking your computer might not support openGL 2, which is what I use.
OpenGL 2 is 18 years old now, but there are PCs that will not do openGL 3. OpenGL 2 might be so old that your computer gives me 3 or 4 instead.
