Go see if there are drivers for your video card you can download form the manufacturer. If not, but a new card or PC.

Most youtube guides are fake. I tried to get my friend's XP desktop to work Minecraft. every guide caused more problems. So the only option is to get a new PC/laptop.

That is not at all the only option.

First check to see if there are any updated drivers for your card.

Second check to make sure your card even supports minecraft play.

If it doesn't then you would need a new card. If you can't upgrade then you need to look at getting a new computer. But that's not the "only" option.
