Author  Topic  gsnk Starting Member 24 Posts Posted - 2001-09-07 : 22:33:53 I just installed SQL 2K Personal. Right after installation I was able to start/stop the server through SQL Server Service Manager but unable to open up the db through EM. Here is the message I got: "Please verify SQL Server is running and check your SQL Server registration properties (by right-clicking on the DB_NAME node) and try again. I then restarted the machine. But when I try to start the server through the SQL Server Service Manager the server doesn't even show up anymore... What am I doing wrong???
