Driver cleaning can provide a few problems of their own, however it must be done to properly reinstall the driver and this file especially. If you install the Omega drivers, in the start menu section for omega drivers is an entry called driver cleaner. simply run that, then restart and try reinstalling a driver of your choice.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 17 Dec 2004 13:04:20 GMT https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/ati2dvag-failure-crashes-winxp/m-p/162097#M117465 TygerTyger 2004-12-17T13:04:20Z Re: ati2dvag failure crashes WinXP https://community.sony.se/t5/pcs-accessories/ati2dvag-failure-crashes-winxp/m-p/162098#M117466 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi TygerTyger, I used the drivercleaner several times.
