Black screen after installing ModLoader.

I probably sound like an idiot, and I'm sorry if I do, but I figured I'd at least try and see if anyone knows what I'm screwing up.

I'm trying to download ModLoader and then the XRay Mod. Every time I do these things, I get a black screen. Here are the specs of my laptop.

I have Java updated. I use Google Chrome. I have 7Zip. I swear I've followed every single direction.

Here are the steps I take, exactly:
1. Download the ModLoader file.
2. Open ModLoader in 7Zip.
3. Open minecraft.jar file
4. Copy ModLoader .class files into Minecraft.jar
5. Delete the META-INF folder.
6. Open up minecraft (I play in browser).
7. BLACK SCREEN.

Can anyone tell me why I'm still black screening?

Mods dont work in browser. You have to use the downloaded client in order to use mods.

I am unable to download the Minecraft.exe... it gives me the following error:

Bad video card drivers!
-----------------------

Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode.
This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers.

I have updated my video card drivers several times, I actually just did so. -_-

Oh, nevermind! I found a way to fix my "video card" problem. was the fix! I got the client and doing ModLoader and XRay was a snap. Thanks for the tip that mods don't work in-browser, no one ever explicitly said that.

You know, for something so important, I do wonder why it isnt stressed anymore than it is.

im having the same problem, however i do not play in a browser. all the steps taken in installing the programs done by him are the exact same as i have done, any suggestions?
