Minecraft crashes with error "No OpenGL context found in the current thread"

Question

I downloaded the Minecraft launcher and tried to download the latest update of Minecraft (1.7.4). The bar will fill up entirely at the bottom, then it will disappear, leaving me hanging, waiting for the darn thing to load, which it never did. I exited out of the launcher and opened it up again. Then, when I tried to load the 1.7.4 update, it crashes and leaves a long crash report.

The full crash report is below, but the important pieces of information are:

org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated
[...]
OpenGL: ~~ERROR~~ RuntimeException: No OpenGL context found in the current thread.

How can I diagnose and fix this?

@user65169 Oh, I don't think I'll actually be able to help you personally, but adding it into your question will make it easier for someone who actually knows about this to help you. =] — GnomeSlice, Dec 28 '13 at 21:13
Thanks for editing the report into your question! I've extracted out the important bits from the report to make them easily visible to people viewing the question. It looks like you're having an issue with your graphics card. Updating the drivers to your graphics card may fix the issue. — Wipqozn, Dec 28 '13 at 21:31
