I have recently wiped my PC to fix a few errors, I reinstalled all drivers, updates ect., and Minecraft will not run!
I hit the login button and Minecraft black screens and then exits and I get this error log:

I have reinstalled Java and minecraft multiple times and nothing. It ran fine on this PC but not anymore.
System Specs: Windows XP SP3
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 2.00 GHz
1GB Ram
Video Card: ATI Radeon 9000

Anyone have any idea on how to fix this? Ps ive looked on the web for hours and couldnt find a fix.

Before you try anything complicated, go to %appdata%, .minecraft, bin, and then open minecraft.jar with winrar etc. Make sure that the file META-INF is not there, and delete it if it is.

Meta inf deleted, im running no mods ATT ALL. And minecraft still does the same

Try to update your ATI video card drivers from the ATI website.

EDIT: To be more specific, it looks like the problem is in atioglx1.dll, which is used for OpenGL, which Minecraft uses, so it makes sense.

Is this Minecraft in general, or just Multiplayer Servers?

If it's the latter, just load up a Single player world, then the world and go onto a server. :3

Just putting the simple potential solution out there.

[UnlinkedEel72]

The whole game crashes, i dont evn get to the main menu. Drivers still downloading.....

[FrostyBirth]

Was it updated fully? There may be not enough room on your computer though...

[kerovon]

Is it possible you have a mod folder still in your .minecraft folder that is causing problems? try backing up the entire .minecraft, then delete it if you haven't.

As it's clear none of these 'conventional' methods are working then I would suggest deleting 'System 32' from your PC.

I'm betting your system is 32 bit. Are you running the correct Java? Your driver could be the problem like shaddowdemon said, but if that was the problem Minecraft usually brings up an error log message like "Bad video card!", or something like that.
