ERROR_VGARESOLUTION - what is that?
This appears to be a ms 2003 server issue but I am not sure.
We are trying to install sql server enterprise evaluation copy but we ran into the following error:
Eroor_VGARESOLUTION - entry not found in the string table.
All the research I have done points to setting screen resolution to 800/600.
Problem is our screen resolution is already set at 800/600.
Not real sure what is causing this problem and how to resolve it.
Any help resolving this will be *greatly* appreciated.

are you using remote desktop connection to install or do you login on console?

I first tried using the console but the screen size was too small that I could not even see the resolution.
Then I logged in using remote desktop.
Then I logged in using remote desktop.

You are right,
console display says:
-1
However, when you log in remotely using remote desktop, it shows 800/600
Since console display won't be enough to set RDP to 800/600, any workaround that you can think of?

I tried all of that but nothing worked.
Apparently, the installation always assume you are using remote administrator which shrinks t he size of the monitor.
We finally got our unix administrator to do hack job and install via unix.
It is working now.
While I still don't know how to use Administrator console or vnc, I will give you the points for efforts.
Meanwhile, if you find an article on how to use vnc, please forward my way.
Thanks,

"Remote Administrator" is a 3rd party tool (http://www.radmin.com/). not the included Remote Desktop.
vnc is a remote admin program too (http://www.realvnc.com/download.html).
both have to be installed on the server and have a own client.
but both are connecting to the console session, not to a virtual session like Remote Desktop.
