| Hello,Well I have completely reformatted my computer and reinstalled windows XP professional with all the updates, xp service pack 2 and .net framework 1.1. Now when I try to install sql server 2000 developer, I get the following message where it asks Local Account or Domain account (I choose Domain): The logon account cannot be validated for the SQL server service. Verify that the user name and password entered are correct. The logon attempt failed I am using the administrators account, I didn't have a password on it so I created one but this makes no difference. I also tried creating a new user account with admin rights but this also fails to solve the problem. Please can someone help me with this, pp |

| Unless youre using Active Directory accounts (does not sound like you are) you should just use Local User, meaning the user credentials are stored locally on that box, and not on a domain controller.If you are using a domain be sure you are specifying the username as: domain\usernameNathan Skerl |
