hey
I have a notebook with windows vista ultimate edition. For developement i have Ms visual studio 2005 and sql server 2005(with all the required and latest SPs) on it. For the past few months i have been working on the machine without any hitches. Just 2 -3 days back some windows updates got installed on the machine and guess what!!!!!! the sql server service just stopped working. The service wont start no matter what. I
have tried almost solution that i came across on the internet and it wont work out. I unistalled and reinstalled the server as but to no avail. The database engine now wont intall as the sql service wont start during the server installlation.
While browsing through the internet i didnt come across anyone with a similar problem! Am i the first one to be in such a situation
give your comments and share any relevant experience.
P.s the windows upgrades installed on the system were all security upgrades so why should they effect the sql server working.

Although you say it is a notebook, and I would assume you reboot it reguarly(I could be wrong). If you were anything like the developers at a job 5yrs ago, installing, uninstalling, configuring, changing without rebooting, then applying patches 3months after the last time the machine was rebooted, then come to me "The patches broke my system." The easy way to test if it was the patches that broke the systm, just go to windows update site and look at update history (or eventlog) to see what was installed and uninstall it.
