how do I backup a mssql express db?

I can't get into the management tool so i'm thinking of reinstalling -- is the db saved on any file on the computer that I can backup?

this is in sql server express and I can't get into the managment studio so thought reinstalling may help but I need to backup first.

i guess none of this will work if I can't get into the db. it's very strange -- i get an error that named pipe remote connections are not allowed (even locally) when it is set up for remote connections

I'm not very familiar with 2005 in any variant but can't you disable named pipes and perhaps use IP instead to connect? Or at least ensure that named pipes aren't the default protocol

Don't worry head. The computer will do all the thinking from now on.
