Hi all,

Iv downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and then installed the program but now Im stuck, basically iv been folowing a book and it makes it sound like you simply put your windows name in with SQLEXPRESS into the servername field and it should work but instead i get this message http://fc56.deviantart.com/fs36/f/2008/280/2/3/sql_by_kyllle.jpg

I really hope someone can help me out because im desperate to start my studies.

I guess you need to start a SQl Server up before you try to connect to it.
