    You didn't say whether the OS is 32 bit or 64 bit, but the message says you can install SP1 after installing SQL 2008 to avoid the compatibility issues.

    This link may help: http://sqlblog.com/blogs/john_paul_cook/archive/2009/08/10/sql-server-2008-on-windows-7.aspx

    Thank the deities that it wasn't your old Core2Duo (or was it a Pentium 4) machine that died! What would we do if you couldn't do performance testing on that dinosaur?

    I'm not even sure they make 32 bit laptops anymore. It's a 64 bit machine (I5 processor).

    I'll take a look at the link. Thanks, Dwain.

    And I think my old dinosaur is going to (hopefully) live forever. 😛

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
