    Please help me.

    I have read the link you posted which comes with two installation options if you cannot restore the .bak it means that you have run to into the same problem I had that is you need to go into configuration manager and manually enable file stream I enabled all the options and also make sure full text service is running. Then go into Management studio and verify file stream is enabled on the server.

    You could also try the install db file which I used only in SQL Server 2000 about five years ago.

    How should i go into Management studio and verify file stream is enabled on the server.

    Go to server properties and advanced to see if file stream is enabled if no enable it but start with the configuration manager.
