[QUOTE="DreadFury, post: 488107, member: 96011"] awesome, I'm glad you at least made some headway. As for MySQL or MSSQL, I personally would suggest MySQL. I have seen several devs say themselves that not only is there no problems using either, but MySQL demands less system resources. (Besides, in my line of work I need to deal with both on a daily bases, from this I have decided that I HATE MSSQL) =) I'm not sure if your MSSQL problem happened before or after your OS install (I am hoping before) If not, to fix the problem, open regedit and search for every instance of MSSQL and remove it. (I would suggest a backup first of course, and be extra extra careful on what you remove) Once your reg is clear of MSSQL entries, reboot, then delete the remaining MSSQL files left in your program files and you should be ready to go. Good luck! I hope everything gets up and running for you. also, I would suggest you find a good disk imaging program. (I use Acronis) Once you have everything setup, just image your disk. It takes me less than 10minutes to completely restore my system, and all I need to do is boot the system from the boot disk acronis made and select restore. After about 8 minutes or so, I have a perfect system again and don't need to reconfigure anything. I have an image of a fresh install with all updates, as well as an image with my working MP system, it's good to have both. That way if you decide to upgrade MP later and want a fresh install, you don't need to reinstall anything. Something to keep in mind =) [/QUOTE]
