Re: SQL Server Error

and if the problem still exist. why not go to Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > Cofiguration Tools > SQL Server Surface Area Configuration ~than click " Surface Area Configuration for Services & Connections " then expand SQL EXPRESS > expand Database Engine ~and click " Remote Connections " then click " Local and remote connection " and enable the required fields ~then click apply

you will be ask'in for restart process then click " Service " just above on " Remote Connections " hit the " Stop " button then after a few seconds press the " Start " button again

and your done~
