    Haven't done any such step? If you can be more elobrative would be of much needed help.

    Thanks

    Open up command prompt (cmd.exe)

    type: net start

    and hit enter

    the output should be:

    These Windows services are started:

    ....

    SQL Full-text Filter Daemon Launcher (SQL2012)

    SQL Server (SQL2012)

    SQL Server Analysis Services (SQL2012)

    SQL Server Browser

    SQL Server Integration Services 11.0

    SQL Server VSS Writer

    where the instance name is in parentheses, this case SQL2012, check what the instance name is in your case.
