Minecraft doesn't work with Windows 8 Driver

I upgraded to Windows 8 about a month and a half ago, and I tried to find a solution to the problem then, but I gave up. I am now having minecraft withdrawal, and I am attempting to find a solution.
From what I have gathered, it seems my drivers do not support minecraft. I am using an ATI Radeon HD 3450 driver. It says it is the most recent driver. Then I tried installing the latest version of Java, but that didn't work. I even considered going back to Windows 7, but I cannot figured that one out. Are there any kinds of drivers I can download to make it run? Thanks for your help, this is really giving me a head and heart ache :-/
