User has SQL Server Express on his laptop. Laptop broke. Laptop repaired. Everything else seems to work except that SQL Server Express won't start. Says "Error 5: Access Denied" in the event log.
MSDN only shows me why somebody can't install because of an error 5.
The computer had the network card changed when it was repaired.

Check the users permissions - do they have permissions to start a service? do they have permissions to the file structure etc?

I long for a job where my databases dont have any pesky users accessing them 🙂

I'm thinking it must be the file access permits. Unfortunately, the user is disappearing with his laptop.

file permissions will sting you if they're not local admin or whatnot..
ah well.. i'm sure the user will be back.. when they are.. check the folder permissions and see how it goes 🙂
good luck!

If the service will not start and gives Access denied, the user likely does not have adequate permissions to run as a service. Verify the service account being used to start up the service.
