ati2dvag laptop

Okay, I'm having the exact same error message, except my laptop won't even let me boot up. It freezes. I booted up in safe mode and it froze, restarted, and froze again. Then I booted up in safe mode, turned off the automatic restart which is how I found this ati2dvag error. But I can't do what you suggested DAI b/c I w/i 2 minutes of getting to the start menu...the arrow freezes and I can't do anything! Help. I don't have the fortune of the last poster of having great after sales service. My laptop is way past warranty.
