  Hi there,

  Windows 7, SQL Server 2008 standard (10.0.5500)

  I have tried a repair, various registry tweaks, checked the memory, complete uninstall and reinstall. Trying to avoid rebuilding the PC if possible.

  Sounds like a windows issue. Have you or can you try from another machine?

  Does it work from the command prompt?

  If not then try these suggestions

  If that doesn't work then I think you need a fresh Windows install.
