[QUOTE="m7491, post: 502786, member: 97512"] Hi Folks, BEFORE I posted this thread, I searched the forum for al relevant posts but found nothing useful. Perhaps I'm just blind. Dumb newbie question: After installing Media Portal on my Vista 64 PC, I cannot get past the initial DB login screen. Here's what I get when I try to login to the DB as instructed in the install notes and then click the "Test" button: First: [B][I]"Warning. Test failed: Login failed for user 'sa'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."[/I][/B] Second: [I][B]"Connection failed! Login failed for user 'sa'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."[/B][/I] :S I have confirmed that MS SQL Server 2005 and SQL EXPRESS [I][U]are [/U][/I]running on my PC. I have looked at the MS SQL Server Configuration Manager, but I cannot find a "User Account" section in that interface. Any advice on this would be much appreciated. I was looking forward to having a competent alternative to Windows Media Center, which I have slowly come to loathe! Thanks, -- m7491 [/QUOTE]
