[QUOTE="kid-jensen, post: 344446, member: 85107"] Paranoid, My nickname's nothing to do with the DJ (thankfully) it's a name I got stuck with at work, when I turned up in the world's rustyest Jensen, 25 years ago. Still stuck with the name and the car.. To answer in order: "sqlbrowser" is not running... I have installed "sqlexpress2005" and "sql management studio express". I've updated my profile so my PC spec should now show... When I tried to configure the surface area in sql server, the PC crashed, so I tried to re-install sqlserver 2005 express.
