Hi,

Can MS SQL 2000 be installed on a WinXP machine that is not part of a network or domain? I need to install this on a stand-alone XP box for educational purpose. I have tried this already and it installs fine, but service will not start because it says it cannot start because of a login failure. It cannot find the SQL server.

Thanks
 
Go to Start--> programs--> administrative tools---> services.
Double click the MSSQLSERVER service-->
Log On tab--> highlight "This Account" and use a local login credentials.
Try to restart the service.
