Hi, I've done this dozens of times on my local XP, so this should be automatic, but now I am confused because I can't connect to the SQL Server 2005 instance databases on newly installed Windows Vista. The standard "localhost\instance_name" connection is not working. When I tried to connect a database on the default installation with just "localhost" string, it works fine. I would really appreciate if you could give any comment or suggestion. YC

Microsoft Charging $90 for .NET Undermines Huge Market Compelling The Use of Linux!

Typical current digital signage implementations utilize larger LCD displays with project costs in the many thousands of dollars. Who can argue with the facts as anybody can observe?

OS is Windows XP SP3. Error message will appear regularly multiple times throughout the day. Error box title is: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Message inside box is: Runtime Error! Program: C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\wmiprvse.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contract the application's support team for more information. I thought this issue was isolated to my laptop (Fujitsu) but now the error is showing up on my other laptop (Vaio). Notified the MS helpdesk. Their response was that the issue was related to a specific program and the only way to isolate the issue is to run msconfig,…

I'm running a Windows 2003 x64 server. We have an application on a Windows XP machine that connects to the server through 3 specific ports, all of which are listening. When I try to connect, I get the following message and fails to connect: "Pre-Existing Host Connection. There are currently 1 other application(s) connected to host: xx.xx.xx.xx" I have never seen this message before. Has anyone else? We have a dozen other 2003 servers (all of them not x64) that we can connect to without this problem. There is a direct connection between the XP machine and the server, and the firewall was diabled. Thanks -Nathan
