Need help with a startup error I'm getting

[eridian00]

Sorry if this is not the right place to post this. So recently when I start my PC I am getting an error. I have no idea what it is for or what it does so I thought I would come here. Here is the error message: C:\windows\system32\atiadlxy.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system admin or the software vendor for support. So what is this? Is it a major issue? If so what do I do to fix this?

That file is part of the AMD/ATI video drivers. Uninstall/reinstall your video drivers.

Where would I do that though? Sorry, I don't know too much about this stuff.

Start > Control Panel: > Add/Remove Programs (Windows XP) or Programs and Features (Windows 7) or type in Search/Run box appwiz.cpl. Locate any program with ATI Catalyst and remove them BUT MAKE SURE you download the latest drivers to reinstall it later.

Ok, but how do i reinstall the drivers? Where do I go to find them?
