Okay... kids are settled and I'm home from school.
To answer some questions:
1. I "had" the Technic launcher and was using Tekkit on my laptop. It still runs there. Recently, I took my desktop AIO to the computer guy. The thing stopped working four years ago and I never got around to getting it fixed. Anyway, it's working now going on two months. Everything, including the drivers have all been updated.
Minecraft, on its own, runs fine. I had to delete the Technic launcher twice after it just wouldn't let me play any packs on it. Including Tekkit and CrazyCraft. The packs successfully download, but when I clicked to play them, after all the initializing and updating stuff, nothing would load. So I went in search of other launchers and came across ATLauncher. It works. The packs load, but the game seriously lags to the point that I get that "not responding" bullshit at the top of the window.
The pack I'm currently playing is called Unabridged. It has 267 mods in it. I want to keep playing it, but I'm getting pissed off about the lagging.
I'm thinking I need a new graphics card or a new video card, which I'll happily spring for vs. getting a new computer.
The computer is six years old. I updated all my Intel drivers today so they are the most current versions. I have the most current version of Java running. I have the most current version of minecraft as well as ATLauncher and Unabridged running as well.
Not really sure what else I can do at this point since this seems to be the only thing making my computer lag like it does.
