If you cant get the VESA to work, then your card doesnt support VESA 2.0 or higher. If you arre booting into PE, try using a Generic TSR Dos program to load VESA onto card or use SciTech Display Doctor, download.com and search for it. If that doesnt work, you need to replace your video with a compatible card on be.com's website of hardware supported. Pro Edition doesnt support VESA being loaded by DOS. Pro Edition is bootable with a partition. i think it can be booted with that linux dos program to load a partition without using LILO or BeBoot loader.
