SQL2005 Database engine does not start a workaround, SQL2005 is no longer like SQL2000, has a separate server management ...
The database engine did not start.
There are two ways to start:
(1) Start-> program->microsoft SQL Server 2005->SQL Server 2005 peripheral configuration, click on the "Perimeter of Service Connection Configuration" in an open interface, and locate the database in an open interface Engine, click Services, see if it is started on the right, or click "Start" if it is not started, and make sure the "Startup Type" is automatic, not manual, otherwise start manually on the next boot;
(2) Open: Start-> program->microsoft SQL Server 2005-> Configuration Tool->sql Server Configuration Manager, select SQL Server 2005 Service Server (MSSQLServer) and click the "Start Service" button in the toolbar to change the service status to start;
When you use both of these methods, sometimes you may get an error at startup, and you will need to see if via is enabled in the SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration->mssqlserver protocol in SQL Server 2005 Configuration Manager. If enabled, disable it. And then do one of these things.
