Installation

Hi,
I'm using the most current version of MSDE, I've ran all my updates on a
2000 Pro machine.
Someone else did the install and I'm receiving an error message that SQL is
not installed properly
or has been tampered with, pleas uninstall and reinstall, so I went to the
add/remove and uninstalled
MSDE and reinstalled but I'm still receiving the same error message. I go
to Services to start it and
it won't start.
So that's where I'm at, thanks, Craig
Hi Craig,
Thank you for using Microsoft NewsGroup!
Since the installation issue might be related to many possibilities, please
collect the following information to help my analyze this issue, thank you!
1. Take a screenshot of the error message, and send it to me, my email:

Create a screenshot
=================
a) When the message appears in the window, press PrScrn (the key right of
F12).
b) Click start menu->all programs->accessories->paint.
c) Press Ctrl+V to paste the screen shot into the paint, and save the
picture in GIF file type.
2. Collect related MPSREPORT to me.
1). Please go to the following link, and download the MPSRPT SQL.exe.
