Re: Stop error 0x0000008E when opening database tables with SQL SMS Express.

I've been meaning to post back with what I've found.

I previously had to disable my dual core support by installing
uniprocessor ACPI drivers, but when attempting to reinstall my
multiprocessor ACPI drivers I found a Microsoft article stating that
the only way to do this is to reinstall Windows. Well, I thought I
found a loop hole and was able to "reinstall" by rolling back the
drivers. This appeared to work fine, but I believe that it was causing
my problem, as I reinstalled the uniprocessor drivers and the problem
went away.

However, I did not did not use my SQL SMS Express until after I had
uninstalled and rolled back my multiprocessor drivers, so I do not
know if I would have had the same problem had I never tampered with my
ACPI drivers. I wonder, rmehta, did you, by chance, change your ACPI
drivers?

The moral of the story? Think twice before installing uniprocessor
ACPI drivers on a multicore system as you might be stuck with them.
