Alright, thanks.

So I found the cause, but for whatever reason I am not allowed to view the damn topic... How fun? Yeah - ATI users have to roll back to a previous driver... Any help on how to do that? I'll continue googling ....

So I did something in the control panel involving the ATI Graphics driver, I am certain I did it wrong... But here's the Error message I get from Minecraft now

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 was also thinking about doing a system restore... Hope that does something..
