Have you checked hardware requirements for SQL Server 2005 Express Edition before installing?

I don't have 512 MB RAM so sql server 2005 will not support right
as This is the minimum requirement given

But there is one problem again ,I had found a note in 1 of the link you had provided that

VIA Ezra 800Mhz processor,And AMD processor does not Support sql server 2005 .My Processor is VIA Samuel 2 801 MHz.Thus this processor supports Sql server 2005 Express

Hi Keshaba,

I am quite new to this but I have found that the Microsoft express 2008 editions work on my computer and I have a less powerful spec on my computer than you have on yours.Give it a go and if you have any problems I will try and give you a hand.
