[MC-50644] Minecraft launcher crashes after I press play, I can't figure out why it crashes.

I thought that once I pressed the play button, Minecraft would open and I would be able to play the game. But when I did press play, it showed the loading Mojang screen, then it crashed and brought me back to the main screen. I will attach a screenshot of what the Game Launcher says happened. I've tried deleting my .minecraft folder than re-installing it, but the same error occurred.

The Intel 4 Series (and older) video cards are unable to play 1.7.4 and future versions of Minecraft. You will need to buy a new video card or computer to play new versions.
For now, you can still play 1.7.2 or older versions of the game. To change your game to a different version, start the launcher. Select Edit Profile. In the "Use Version" dropdown menu, select the game version you want. Then click Save Profile.
You can try your luck and update your Graphics Card Drivers as some chipsets are still supported. If that doesn't work, then the first part of this applies.
