Can't Create Character

[FlippyGoneTrippy]

Hey So I just started this game last night and haven't been able to get past the initial screen after logging in. I click New Character and then the screen loads and tells me to talk to a guy in a brown hat, but before I can click anything a dialog box pops up saying

An error has occurred!
This error has been reported.

I have the latest version of Java installed and am running into this problem on the regular client, Ender's client and a mirror-download of Ender's client someone had created to solve an unrelated problem (figure I'd try it anyways). I'm also on Windows Vista. Anyways heres the error text....

Update your graphics drivers. You're getting a generic OpenGL crash. If you're using an older video card that doesn't support OpenGL 1.4, you're just too out of date. Certain Intel integrated graphics processors have bugs with drivers for versions of Windows older than Win7. You'll need to either upgrade your OS or graphics card (if possible).
