Ok so after taking another extended break from MC i now want to return to my first (and favorite) server, but i can't seem to load version 1.8 or above, 1.7.10 works just fine except for the small problem of not being able to connect to any server with it, my only clue is the log which reads: Spoiler: Log that i dont think is the probelm Dec 24, 2014 1:51:32 PM net.minecraft.launchwrapper.LogWrapper log INFO: Loading tweak class name optifine.OptiFineTweaker Dec 24, 2014 1:51:32 PM net.minecraft.launchwrapper.LogWrapper log INFO: Using primary tweak class name optifine.OptiFineTweaker Dec 24, 2014 1:51:32 PM net.minecraft.launchwrapper.LogWrapper log INFO: Calling tweak class optifine.OptiFineTweaker OptiFineTweaker: acceptOptions OptiFineTweaker: injectIntoClassLoader skipped, OptiFine is loaded as a library OptiFineTweaker: getLaunchArguments OptiFineTweaker: getLaunchTarget Dec 24, 2014 1:51:32 PM net.minecraft.launchwrapper.LogWrapper log INFO: Launching wrapped minecraft {net.minecraft.client.main.Main} [13:51:35] [Client thread/INFO]: Setting user: GeneralZach [13:51:35] [Client thread/INFO]: (Session ID is token:d6ba6fc933e9476986fca72fba05aeae:0b333558c6e847f198aa29c134cc4856) [13:51:39] [Client thread/INFO]: LWJGL Version: 2.9.1 [OptiFine] [OptiFine] OptiFine_1.8_HD_U_B4 [OptiFine] Wed Dec 24 13:51:40 PST 2014 [OptiFine] OS: Windows XP (x86) version 5.1 [OptiFine] Java: 1.7.0_71, Oracle Corporation [OptiFine] VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (mixed mode), Oracle Corporation [OptiFine] LWJGL: 2.9.1 [OptiFine] OpenGL: RADEON X600 PRO x86/SSE2, version 2.0.5280 WinXP Release, ATI Technologies Inc.

i can only suggest deleting .minecraft and reinstalling. if you do so make sure to save anything you want (saves, etc)
I'll move this into Help/Support forums for you. Are you launching in perfect vanilla? Base client, no forge, no optifine?
This problem is often caused by your graphics drivers now being up to date or your graphics card not supporting openGL 2.1 which is required to play Minecraft 1.8. I suggest making sure all your graphic drivers are up to date and/or your graphics card supports openGL 2.1.
Second spoiler, first line is where the issue is at: [13:51:54] [Client thread/WARN]: Failed to load shader: minecraft:shaders/post/entity_outline.json ow: Invalid shaders/program/sobel.vsh: Couldn't compile vertex program: ERROR: 0:1: '' : Version number not supported by GL2
Wow, yeah I would recommend getting a whole new PC. You could try getting a new graphics card for like $100 but I doubt it would run with 11 year old parts in the PC.
