Failure in starting process for user instance

    I am trying to use SQL Server 2012 for the first time. I am running Win 8.1. I create a local website and sample webpage using Visual Studio 2012 for Web. Running this page on my localhost, when it attempts to create a new SQL database this exception is thrown:

    "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed."

    Appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

    I found a fix to this required a change in an IIS application pool setting on my localhost. As described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2002980
