SQL Sever 2005 is not working on 64bit Win7

[Said Ali Jalali]

:rose: Hi I am trying to install SQL SERVER 2005 on my laptop witch has Win7 64 bit. I tested all versions (Standard,Enterprise,SQLSERVER2000,and...)But when open the SQlServer and want to connect, a message is shown with "Login failed to 'My user'...". Can you tell what is the problem? And also when i install SQL2000 in Service Manager>>Server combo Box, there is nothing to select and when i write my PC Name the Services combo box show SQl Server and is stared, but when you want to start SQl Server Agent it shows "Access denied"Message. Thank you. :rose: CanI

Is the server running? If yes then you have a configuration/connection problem and nothing else. If you want to connect from a different box then you must use the configuration tool to set that up.

Uninstall it, install it, install SQL Server SP3, and it should run the provisioning tool when you're done that gives your user the correct permissions.

Hi CanI Before I also had the same problem as you, and the solution was to install SQL Server 2005 SP3. One more thing, do not forget to run the SQL Server, type in the search box "service" and will open a window where to look for "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)", right click and start. It's all
