MSDE sp3. service does not start
I have Windows server 2003 installed, and Visual Studio .NET 2003 ent.arch also. I downloaded the msde sp3 from microsoft's site. installed it. The problem occured when i rebooted my machine. The system tray icon of SQL Server Service Manager says "Not connected". When i open the manager, there are no Services nither Servers listed in the dropdown lists. Can you help with this. Thx in advance!

I believe that the problem is that you need to install the actual SQL Server 2000 Tools in addition to MSDE, there are some MMC programs out there, alternative to Enterprise Manager, that you can use to connect to your MSDE databases.
