SQL Deadlock

In my quest to get the consolidation process to work I have come across
this error message when doing a consolidation 12 in the ISQL_w utility.
SQL has detected a deadlock. Your connection has been chosen as the
deadlock victom.(not quite exactly of course).

I understand that a deadlock happens when two processes have locks on data
and each of the processes is waiting for the other to finish. How do I
make change it so the consolidation isn't picked as the deadlock victom?

I am running MS SQL Server 6.5 with SP4 on NT 4.0 SP3.

Thanks!
