  Hi,

  I have installed SQL Server 2005 backward compatibility installed on my local machine. I am seeing it in the program & features section as installed. The version is 8.05.1054.

  It does not showup under all programs and i am unable to find server name on my system. I have admin rights to my system and still when i try to access the server name as localhost it says i need atleast read rights.

  Could some one help me.

  Regards,

  Renato.

  Long time ago I installed SQL Server 2005, but shouldn't you install the database engine?
