I just configured two Compaq Proliant ML370 servers, already racked. any time I install the ATI 3D Rage IIC video driver in NT4, I receive an error message, "your new driver is in conflict with a control panel file (desk.pcl)" This causes NT to load16 color vga. The problem is the same for both servers. I downloaded some softpaqs and driver updates from compaq website, but the problem remains, I need help.

I had this problem on Proliant 7000's and found out that we were running PC Anywhere. If that is running at the time you try to install the ATI drivers it will not work. So you must stop and uninstall PC Anywhere, then install the video drivers, then reinstall PC Anywhere.

Hope this helps.

I managed to resolve the awhost32 conflict, after using your info.
Everything is OK! Million Thanks.

The above is a good suggestion. I have had a similar problem and Compaq had me delete the ati files from the server. Sometimes they don't over write the old files like they are supposed to. If you have to go the delete route, do this via the network with no on logged on the server you are setting up. This way the video drivers are not loaded.
