| To answer your original question, yes you need service pack 5a for SQL Server 6.5 in order to install SQL Server 2000. You've already got 6.5 uninstalled, but for others looking for this answer you remove 6.5 through the SQL setup program.That sucks what desktop support did to your machine. Did they send an e-mail out letting people know about the drastic change?Tara |
