I am currently running MP 1.22 on 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. As far as I can see, MP uses "MySQL", not "MS SQL". Are you really trying to use "MS SQL"?

I don't know anything about SQL (I have never programmed it or had to set it up), but are different SQL engines interchangeable? I would speculate that they are like web browsers -- there is considerable commonality, but each SQL server supports its own non-standard extensions, and some standard features produce different results.

If no one posts saying that "MS SQL" is usable, you might want to consider uninstalling "MS SQL", uninstalling MP, and then re-installing MP. The MP installer will install the version of "MySQL" that it needs if it is not already installed.
