Candy writes "I have a computer tower icon on the bottom toolbar/launchbar next to the time on my computer there is a round white circle super imposed on the left side.

I have had a recent power outage that messed up the computer and I reinstalled XP and both Office 2000 and the update 2003 full install. Then all the updates and service packs which have indicated they came in correctly.

My computer has been going into programming language like we used to use in the early 90's with dos. It shuts down before I can read any thing.

When I click on the icon left click a little box comes up saying server with a drop menu and service with a drop menu and they are blank. beneath that are start stop and pause buttons, beneath that is a box to be ticked that says auto start service when OS starts. No check in the box. AND, beneath that at the very bottom, it says Unknown-//- MSSQL Server.

I have no clue, can you tell me what is wrong?"

looks like you may need some version of SQLServer re-installed on the PC....or at least have the current registry settings removed/cancelled....to get back to a stable system.

Can you contact your inhouse OPS/Support team?
