Anyone running XP with Radeon 8500?

Could someone running XP with a Radeon 8500 send me the ati2dvag.dll file from your C:\windows\system32 folder?

I only want the file it your system runs smoothly in 3-D games. Mine is locking up and complaining about that file.

Thanks

Have you tried re-installing the drivers? Do you have the VIA chipset by any chance?

That didn't work.

I've had all I can take of this ATI Radeon bs...

I'm buying a GeForce 4 Ti4200 64mb.... if that doesn't fix it... i'll return it then piss and moan on here some more

ATI has officially lost my business forever because the name ATI is in the file that is erroring out and I'm soooo pissed

But thanks anyway for the help

I have tried every driver there ever was.... maybe that's an exaggeration but you know what I mean.

It's worth it... ATI blows

Strange... I have no stability problems with my radeon 8500. My computer is actually more stable now than it was with my old geforce2. I can actually go into standby and have the computer come out of it without crashing.
