| I just got a new laptop with windows 7 hope premium. I am trying to install a lot of 2008 express apps. I have ssms 2008 express installad and I see a sqlexpress service running but my ssms does not give me any servers in the drop down. I even tried typing in a server such as local or sqlexpress but no luck. I have also installed sql2008 sp1. Any Ideas to get this running? Much thanks.GAR |

| Thanks for the info. Now I am looking at downloading the SQLexpress sp 1. I am prompted for a file to down load. ia64,x64,x32, x86. Well I don't really know or how to find out. My Dell laptop has the t4400 pentium dual core processor. How do you find out which software to install? Thanks so much for this education.GAR |

| You need to know if your OS is 64 bit or not. If you are running Windows Xp, Vista, Win 7 32 bit, then you would download the x86. If you are running a 64 bit version of Windows, you neeed to download the x64.===http://www.ElementalSQL.com/ |
