SQL Server 2008 won't start

  • I just installed SQL Server 2008 on my XP Pro system. Management Studio failed. I then found that SQL Server never started. I tried starting it from services with no success. I then tried to logon as a local systen account but that didn't work. The error log says "Error: 17054, Severity: 16, State: 1." Any ideas?

  • Do you have ANY version of SQL 2005 on the same machine?

  • No, but I did haveSQL Server 2005 Express on it. I removed it in favor of 2008 full version. I did an uninstall and then deleted the SQL directories in Program Files. I also ran Registry Mechanic and then rebooted.

  • I fixed it! I had enabled VIA in Client Protocols in SQL Server Conig Mgr. I finally found the problem by carefully reading the error log twice and remembering what i had done to try to get SQL Server to start. Thanks for the help.

  • Glad you found the problem (from the log)
