each time sql server starts a log is created. if you are running sql 2005 it may be in this location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG
please post the contents of this file

was the error message you posted about for the start-up attempt at 8:06? did you confirm the sql service is not running? how did was sql started, on boot-up, manually with net start, using the services.msc gui?

open the run form and enter "services.msc", scroll down to the service "SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)" and look at the column status. what does it say?

The service start-up type is automatic but the status in the column is blank(there is nothing like started,paused or stopped). I checked this too in the morning..only when i attempt to start the service do I get the message I posted earlier. Could the trial period of the student evaluation version have expired? I am not sure for how many days does the student evaluation version come for! I installed in the 2nd week of July 2007.

Googling a little is always helpful. I typed in "sql server 2005 trial edition" and quickly found out that it lasts for 180 days.

As to your problem, try starting the service via NET START command in a cmd window. Type in NET START to see what services are available. Locate yours, then use NET START ServiceName. Let us know what error is shown there, that is once you figure out the correct command to run.

Hi Tara,
I'm still not getting started

When I type in as you had mentioned, I just get a flash of the message "MSSQLSERVER is starting" for about a second and still my server won't start!
