Hi,

I was trying to start the SQL Server Browser service but to no avail. I got the error message from WMI Provider Error and the following is the description of it

"The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. [0x80070422]"

By the way, this is for SQL Server 2005 Express Edition running on XP Pro.

Wondering if anyone might be able to help me out.

Thank you in advance

Open sql server browser service in services applet and go to log on tab, ensure hardware profile is enabled.

I ended up just reinstalling SQL and it worked this time. SQL Server Browser started right up without any problems.
