I get the above error when attempting to connect to a SQL Server running on my local stand-alone machine.
I think this is something to do with ODBC as I cannot start SQL Server Agent (it starts but then stops) and cannot create an ODBC User DSN for SQL Server. I get the same message when trying to connect through Query Analyser.
The SQL Server Agent is running under the local system account.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Roger Smith
