Re: unable to start SQL Service ... error code 3417

I am not sure I follow when you say compressed. Do you mean zipped? If not,
how do I determine if they are compressed? I have not compressed any sql
folders ... that I know of.

I like it when a technician makes changes to your system without telling you
what he's doing. In your case, the first thing to do would probably be to
make a backup of the MDF and LDF files for the databases.

The sql service won't start if either the Sql-Server folder or the data file
folders is compressed. If you have (or the technician have) done so then
uncompress them. For other possible solutions, see

If nothing work, you might have to remove/reinstall SQL-Server.

I recently had an issue with being able to log into my Windows XPS Vista
Ultimate notebook. I contacted Dell Support who helped me rectify the
problem. The technician then asked if he could log into my pc to fix this
problem ... I allowed him to do this via Dell Remote Assistant
(uninstalled
software after service call). When he logged in, He deleted files in an
area
that looked like they might be somewhere in the Windows directory. It
could
be just a coincidence, but now I am unable to get my MSSQLSERVER service
started. I think it is possibly a coincidence because as I research the
error message below, I see this has happened to others, where the service
suddenly would not start. I have done a system retore fyi. Regardless, I
desperately need a solution to this problem ... the error message I
receive
when I attempt to start the service is

Windows could not start the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) on local Computer.
For
more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft
service, contact the sservice vendor, and refer to service-specific error
code 3417.

Any assistance and/or advice would be much appreciated.
