after i install SQL server when i install service pack 1 it cannot connect to SQL server. what is the problem with my SQL server?
 
Are you trying to connect from another computer or local?
I would guess the network protocol was changed.

Check the client network utilty and check the protocol.

Did you install as a local database (on window 98 or 2000) or did you install on a server?

when you start enterprise manager do you try to register the database? Try registering the database and select servers. see if you machine shows. If it doesn't try entering the IP address for server name and then connect.
