Help !

I'm trying to install Ventura Publisher Professional Extension v3.0
on our LAN.
It all seems to work ok, until I print. When I try to print, the usual
messages "Checking fractions...", "Loading Printer device driver"
appear followed by "FATAL ERROR! The GEM VDI screen driver couldn't be
loaded.". I then lose control of the menus and have to reboot.
I have redirected temporary files with /O=C:/I=C:\TMP in VPPROF.BAT

Any suggestions/pointers ?

My environment :-
 Server - IBM LAN Server v1.3
 Terminal - IBM PS/1, PS/2 55sx & PS/2 70
            PC DOS 5.01 &/or PS DOS 5.02, IBM DOS LAN Requester v1.3 &/or v3.0

 Printers installed - EPSON FX/MX, HP LJ+, 300 dpi

 Ventura Desktop shows - Professional Extension, EMS-(SYS=1168kb, APP=1264kb)
                         Network - (PC-Net, Seat# 0,0)
