sql service not running

  • I have just purchased visual studio 2005 standard edition and I am trying to work through the Microsoft Press ADO.NET 2.0 Step by STep.  It requires SQL2005 Express edition to be installed and running in order to comlete the exercises.  I downloaded SQL Expess and installed it but the configuration manager reports that it is not running.  I try to manually start it and get the message:  (The request failed or the service did not resond in a timely fashion.  Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details.)  The configuration manager shows SQL Server (SQLExpress) stopped with a start mode of automatic, (MSSQL Server) running with a start mode of automatic, and SQL Server Browser running with a start mode of automatic.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled SQLExpress 4 or 5 times with no change.  I really need some help with this.  Thanks in advance,  Roger

  • check or paste your event log or applicable error logs
