  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.

  You have to look in the services on your local machine and see the name that was given to you installed instance.

  There is always something new to learn.
