I must have done something wrong in the (re) installation of Server 2008 on my personal pc.
I get the infamous and totally descriptive "0xc0000142 Application unable to start" error. 🙁
Everything I've seen on line so far just says use a registry cleaner. I'm a bit hesitant to use one, so I
- uninstalled SQL Server
- Removed the directory tree
- restarted the pc
- reinstalled Server
- Still NG
So, Question 1: is there something I should have done during the installation? I basically took the defaults as this is just on my machine.
if q1 = 'no' or isnull, is there a safe, reliable reg cleaner, and will that take care of it?
Thanks all for the assistance.
Alan

Didn't work, but thanks.
Now I really screwed up the installation...no BIDS. Going to try to snare somebody tomorrow at a user group mtg.
