Nummerous Deadlocks

I receive numerous deadlocks while processing transactions with more than 2
users in SQLServer 2000 SP3. While these does not happen often, it does
happen often enough where it has become an annoyance. The error that the
users are getting are very similar or identical to the one below:
Microsoft SQL Server:1205[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL
Server]Transaction (Process ID 53) was deadlocked on lock resources with
another process and has been chosen as the deadlock
Does anybody have an idea in how to correct this issue.
