I would recommend uninstalling your current video driver using the "Add/Remove Programs" Control Panel aplet. Then reinstall the latest Dell validated driver. If the problem persists, I would recommend contacting the manufacturer of the program in question to see if they are aware of a conflict with ATI video adapters. They may know of a solution.
i have a little workaround if you have problems with ATI-Cards and Java from Sun.
Problem:
Regular Windows Blue Screens with the driver ati3d1ag.dll (possibly with other ATI Radeon drivers as well) after you used an Java application. The BlueScreen came up quite often when you close ConsoleOne or shutting down VMware after Netware Server or just by pointing a Browser to a specific Web site with Java on it.
Invironment:
Windows XP professional with SP1 on a Dell Latitude C640
Java Runtime Environment JVM 1.4.2_01 and 1.4.1_01
ConsoleOne Version 1.3.5 and 1.3.6
One Solution: Switch off Direct Draw for the Viedo Adapter:
1) From the command line launch "dxdiag"
2) Select the Tab "Display"
3) In the box "DirectX Features" press "Disable" for the option "DirectDraw Acceleration"
I had a simliar problem in using Java on my Inspiron 4150. Whenever my Java swing application woudl close using System.exit() my computer would crash. It would dump the physical memory and say there was a problem with my ATI driver. I can't understand how my video driver would cause it to crash, but that seemed to be the problem. I havn't tried using the newest version of Sun's Java, but I will try that too and see if it helps. It was very annoying to write programs that would crash your computer for no reason. (I tried my program on other computers with the same version of Java and it worked fine, so I know my code was not to blame).
As I said before a half year the problem lies in the Java virtual maschine below 1.4.1_02,
try to download the latest 1.4.2 driver it should work, I use the latest Dell Ati driver and the latest Sun VM and it works fine. The system never freez! I run a Java UI application XXX times a day and the last 5 months got no freez/dark blue screen :)
lol thanks for the advice guys, I was gonna post this problem b/c I doubted I'd find a thread on it! But oh well! We should start like a Java forum lol

Thank you.
Is there only a Problem with jdk 1.4.1_0x? Or has jdk 1.4.1 the problem, too?
Why is there a problem?
I installed now an inofficial grafic driver (Plutonium XP 8.1 Driver) and it get it better.
