ATI and NV GPUs in same host
Ghost0210:
not sure then
I know OzzFan had a similar problem with nVida and ATI graphics drivers not working on WHS (basically Server 2003 repackaged) on Seti Main
Have you tried with any older drivers apart from 9-10 - I had to start with 10-2 for Win7 to accept the drivers and work up from there

Raistmer,

ATI driver information for Microsoft Windows Server 2003
All drivers for Windows Server 2003 are maintained and deployed by Microsoft. This operating system currently provides drivers for RAGE XL products only.
While Windows Server 2003 display drivers are not available from ATI directly, you may obtain updates through Windows Update, or other deployment option from Microsoft.
Windows Server 2003 is positioned as a business and corporate enterprise server Operating System. It is not intended for home or personal use.
Please refer to Microsoft's website for detailed information.

@#$%^& this M$ OS positioning!
We use Win2003 x64 server here as OS for quantum chemistry calculations, host accessed mostly remotely by few peoples so terminal server needed, not for "personal use". Moreover, soon we will need GPU power for non-SETI related stuff too (molecular dynamics). And what? No ATI GPU support?! Just have no words....
[Interesting, what about Windows Server 2008? Same rules? Maybe it's time to make upgrade?... ]
Thanks for info, btw... :-\
Jason G:
IIRC the 'rules' were something like the drivers are all supposed to be signed ones from Microsoft site. Having said that, if you disable the requirement for driver signing, then normal XP drivers should work ... Though I guess video might be a special case, worth a try. [Before you ask I don't remember how to turn off the driver/signing requirement in 2003 (too long ago), or whether it can be done for Video drivers, or whether the ATi drivers are some special case for some other reason entirely. ]
Raistmer:
Some makes me think it's just a lame excuse from ATI actually. I remember times where such statements were made from Nvidia. Then they take enough of bravery to pass required certification and what we have now? Video drivers from NV site, not from M$ one, works just fine on Server 2003.
ATI as usually trudges in a tail of software achievements :-\
