Geek-Tard Post Alert: SQL 2K for Vista Business

*** Make sure to uninstall sql 2005 trial before attempting ***

//in Vista:

-click start button
-in the search bar type: services.msc to search for program
-run services.msc
-(better to sort the list of services by name) scroll down and look for any services starting with sql such as,

"sql server sqlexpress"
"sql server active directory helper"
" sql server browser"

//for each service do the following:

select the service
right click to properties
select startup type (default should say disabled) : "Automatic (Delayed Start)"
hit the apply button

Now install SQL 2k. The aforementioned instructions should allow PCs with Vista Business to run any applications requiring sql 2k.
