| When the SQLServer Agent is started there appears a MS DOS Prompt window C:\mssql7\binn\sqlagent.exe on the screen and it has a cursor that is continuously blinking.When I tried to close that window the SQLServerAgent stops.Why does it appearing? |

| That sounds very odd. What operating system are you running ?SQLServer agent should be running as a service, has anyone done something freaky with the install ?Damian |

| How are you starting the SQLServer Agent? Through EM or Control Panel or the Service Manager or command line?Jeff BanschbachConsultant, MCDBA |

| The autostart SQL Server Agent is checked.So whenever the server is restarted the service is automatically started as well. |

| Check your Windows start up list, to see of somebody has added sqlagent.exe to the startup.--HTH,Vyashttp://vyaskn.tripod.com |
