    WinXP Media Center SP3 - When Windows starts up, the login window comes up and before the password is typed in, a SQL error comes up (see screen shot below). I re-installed SQL Server VSS Writer 2005 SP2 and it made no difference. I am totally unfamiliar with SQL Server. In Add/Remove Programs, there are 3 different SQL items listed: SQL Server Native Client, SQL Server Setup Support Files, and SQL Server VSS Writer. I downloaded SQL Server from this link, and during the install I chose to only install VSS Writer. So, any ideas how to get rid of this error?
    Thanks!

    And a very Happy New Year to all!

    Problem solved. The download I linked to above turned out to be just an update and not the actual SQL Server software. Once I found the correct download, I simply installed it over the top of the existing SQL software, and that took care of everything.
    :-D

    Good job dlb!

    It seems you are always left to answer your own questions.

    My number four resolution this year is to respond to at least one thread you start and solve the problem for you! My record isn't great for New Year's resolutions but I promise to work on this one.

    Have a Happy 2010! :drink:wine
