Completely unistall your drivers then re-install from scratch...
if that doesn't work do the same except install the Omega drivers instead

or if you've done that already, don't know...

i get the same ati2dvag error on my ati x700 card (when it shows the error - when it doesn't bluescreen it just goes black with a flashing cursor)

I've been getting a differnent error, but with blue screen crash on my ATI too, never liked ati drivers at the best of times!

yeah i'm running an ati radeon 9600 with 128 onboard and 512 Ram an d the bastard keeps crashing on me (even in low resolution)... any tips on good ati drivers?

Alright anonyomous wonders...

The black screen cursor thing happens to me too, rarely. I presume this is a driver loading failure or something. Don't know what causes it but a quick reboot usually gets rid of it.

As for the blue screen ati2advg problem did you try completely unnstalling and reinstalling resolume and your ati drivers as suggested? If you did, say so.

Last guy, what do you mean it crashes 'even in lo res'? Be more specific, and is this actually when resolume is running or are you having the same problem as others?

Finally, ATI's own drivers are my preferred these days. They got much better recently.

i'm anon1 for general purposes...
my ati has two problems... crashing on shutdown, the screen turns into a white and colored lined mess and sometimes during playing larger files resolume hangs. I tend to think i need to reinstall everything on my computer and find the right catalyst driver suggested by the man above here but all of them seem to me to be unstable. But at the moment all versions of resolume crash on shutdown.
It's been quite a while since i last replyed but i appreciate all the info. I will keep everyone posted when i reinstall my system and find the problem.

For a while I was using an ATI AIW driving two projectors, along with an OEM version of an ATI PCI card (9600, I believe, from MadDog) for the user interface. Occasionally I'd run a third projector off the S-video port on the PCI card, for a total of 4 different feeds simultaneously. (As an aside, let's have a big round of applause for Resolume's multi-screen support.) The system was reasonably stable; that is, I'd have occasional crashes, but mainly when I did something stupid like attempt to load or browse a corrupted video file.

A few months ago I decided to replace the AIW with an older dual-port ATI card -- I thought it was a 9x00, but it turned out to be a 7600, if I remember correctly -- I had lying around. Immediately I began to have problems: crashes, occasional BSOD on boot-up, disappearing MIDI (which meant no ReAct an hour before my largest gig to date). An upgrade to ATI's latest and greatest had no effect.

The situation improved when I switched to the Omega drivers, but the system still wasn't stable. Finally, I uninstalled everything, rebooted in VGA mode, and ran DriverCleanerPro. I then reinstalled the latest version of the Omega drivers. So far [knock silicon], the system has been rock-solid.

I'm positive I have a more-modern card around here, somewhere, either an ATI 9x00 or some sort of nVidia; when I find it, I'll probably replace the 7x00 with the faster board. Until then, I'm pretty darn happy with my current rig.
