  • Check Administrative Tools/ Services/SQL Server Agent. Is your agent running under the local service account? If so, there will be a checkbox underneath 'Allow service to interact with the desktop'. If that's checked it could be the cause of your problem. Uncheck it and see if that helps.

  • Hmm, was hoping you wouldn't ask that - I'm not a programmer, I just stumbled across that fix a while ago. I think it may have something to do with developing programs that run as a service - the gui may need to send messages to the service? But I could be totally wrong. Maybe someone else could tell us?
