This morning my VS.NET 2005 crashed on me while at the same time SQLEXPRESS had thrown up (on its own) a command prompt, it was doing something to my file. So I had to kill the entire process because it was not responding. From then on I have not been able to connect to an MDF file. I am able to create new databases on my instance of SQLEXPRESS, my TCPIP and Named Pipes are working, but whenever I try to add an MDF file it times out. In the event viewer I am getting periodic messages about my TCPIP for SQL not being valid, but I don't see how considering I am able to create new databases and the client and the service are configured on the same port. For what its worth, the LOG file does not show SQLSERVER express listening on any ports.
