problem while changing startup account

  • I tried to change my SQL Server 2000 server startup account to service id, But while change i am getting below error:

    Event Type: Information

    Event Source: Application Popup

    Event Category: None

    Event ID: 26

    Date: 9/12/2009

    Time: 11:46:43 PM

    User: N/A

    Computer: JNBCMESA010UAT

    Description:

    Application popup: SQL Server : SQL Server could not find the default instance (MSSQLSERVER) - please specify the name of an existing instance on the invocation of sqlservr.exe.

    If you believe that your installation is corrupt or has been tampered with, uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.

    But it is running fine under localsystem

    Anybody can help me.

  • Any chances you are running virtual machine?

  • How did you change this? You should be using Enterprise Manager.
