I downloaded Minecraft and logged in. Clicked play and everything worked fine. The game launched and so on. When I closed Minecraft and went back on, the game would not launch. I would remain on the Minecraft Launcher window.
When I clicked 'Play', the Screen went off, then popped back on with the 'Mojang' icon on it, and then kick me back to the Launcher.
Never had this before.
I tried re-installing Minecraft and Java a few times, but it did not change anything.
This is the Development Console:

Help would be appreciated. This is very frustrating.

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.
