| When I try to run SQL Server 2008 R2 Express I get error 26 indicating that the Server could not be found. The system worked fine last week and was not used for a week and when I tried it I get the error.I installed Service Pack 1 and it worked fine, the first time used it,an hour later it produced the same error.I installed SP2 but still get the error and I don't know where to turn from here.Can anyone help?MiltMilt |

| Thanks for the suggestion. The following SQL services are running: SQL Active Directory Services SQL Server(MSSQL Server) SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS) SQL Server Agent(MSSQL Server) SQL Server Agent(SQLEXPRESS) SQL Server Browser SQL Server VSS WriterIf I understand what I see(which is probably doubtful)they all seem to be running, Where do I go from here?MiltMilt |
