the ATI2dvag is a .dll (application extension) file. It is your driver for your video card. In order to actually help you, you'll need to tell the following:

-What you were doing when it crashed i.e. gaming, movie watching, etc.

-what version of windows you are using

-what driver version from ATI you are using...if you don't know and only are using what they provided for you on the CD that came with the vid card then you can update those drivers to the recent catalysts from ati.com

-what version of directX you are using. If you don't know, go to the start button, select 'run' and then type 'dxdiag' and hit return. Look at the info displayed and it should tell you what version of directX you are running.


I think this is a directX driver problem and not a vid card problem...I've seen people in the past get the same problem with each vid card they stuck into their computer until they installed a new version of DX. Anyways, let us know all the info specified above and we can better answer your question.
