Yup, mentioned above, on both the dell exe (ATI_ATI-RN50-Video-Controlle_A02_R144864) file and also the ati .exe that gets extracted to the C:\dell\drivers\R144864   Setup.exe

same error, i assume this is something coded into the EXE by ATI themselves and probably not somethig dell can fix?

"I need to install these drivers, the default MS drives is awful and causes browsing to be so slow and stutter and refresh"

Having the ATI driver is not going to speed up browsing...the machine, network or your Internet connection have an issue..aside from this, servers are more stable with the standard VGA driver, The only thing the ATI driver will speed up appreciably are programs which are not generally run on a servers.

When i say slow, it is not the connection or network, it is this system, and this driver, when i say slow, i dont mean physically the internet, i know it is fast, i am the network admin and have another system right beside me that is fine.

It is the video card driver, and i know it is the vid card driver and it is on this system, i have 4 otyher SC440's and even on them, opening MySQl Admin and scrolling through lines of records, is slow and behind - because of the vid card drive, being the stock MS one.

They can help, often the basic MS drivers does not have all the features, just basic fucntionallity.

any default MS drive for any vid card i have had has always been slow, and stuttery, on any vid card i have owned, even with an ATI 4850 at home, the default vista driver, browsing web pages is slow and stuttery (you scroll down and the screen takes a split second to catch up as oppsed to being smooth and as you scroll the page moves with you), with the ATI driver installed it is smooth, and i know this is the case with this system as well, i know it is only an ES 1000 but it can handle basic 2d, the performance is ridiculous with the defaut MS drive and the ATI driver is perfectly stable for the usage on this machine.l

BUT, that is all besides the point anyways, why provide a driver if it doesnt work?

So i contacted ATI and they said since the ES1000 is an OEM product they do not support it, thus Dell does..

So will Dell fix the driver not installing properly even under administrative accounts? 

ATI confirmed that it is Dell Development and Driver team that creates the drivers and have to make the changes.

So will Dell do this, or just continue to let people download a driver - that doesnt work, because you cant install it?

FIGURED IT OUT!

So here is what I have done.
- Download x64.zip file from ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/driver/VGA/ATI/RageXL/x64.zip
- Run/Expand the zip to same directory
- DO NOT run the setup file or you will get the error message,
   "Setup will only run in Administrator mode. Setup is aborting"
- Launch Device Mgr
- Expand the Video Driver and update Standard Video Drive. Point to directory x64.
- The server will need to reboot
- Display settings can be raised from 1024x786(16bit) to 1280x1024(32bit)

Note: 1600x1200 (16bit) is available but does not work on mine. If you set it to this setting and the video does not come back, connect up a higher resolution monitor and set it back.

This did not work for me :-( I have PE840 with AMD ATI RN50 Video Graphics. I am trying to install the driver. Please help me.

I have found a workaround for this

- Right click the background and in the drop down menu go to 'screen resolution'

- In the window on the right side middle area click 'advanced options'

- On the box that pops up on the bottom left corner click 'list all modes'

- in the list all modes list click on one of the options where the resolution is 1024 x 768
