Re: SQL Server Express

Thank you again. Unfortunately I hadn't set a restore point that far back and
the auto restore points are last couple of days ... which are way past when
damage happened.

I think I ran into problem when I tried to install the 2005 beta of SQL
Server (not the express). To MS credit, they had asked that it be installed
on a test system. Well .. I didn't listen ... so I have no one to blame but
me.

I can't afford to wipe out my system. It has to much software. So ... I am
stuck for now ...
