What about management studio?

I haven't tried installing Management Studio on this system. It's a client's computer. I'll give it a try and report back...

Was able to log onto the client's computer yesterday and tried installing Management Studio. No luck. Still getting the timeout error. Anyone have any other guesses?

I suspect that the timeout was the issue. I informed their IT guy of this and he said he adjusted the timeout and it's working. So thanks for the feedback.

In a command window, I'm using OSQL to login to a SQL Server Express 2005 database. However, it returns this error:<br />
Shared Memory Provider: Timeout error [258]<br />
Login timeout expired<br />
Unable to complete login process due to delay in prelogin response<br />
<br />
I reinstalled the .NET Framework, and SQL Server Express. I found a web page that referred to corrupted ODBC drivers so I repaired the MDAC installation. No luck.<br />
<br />
I know the OSQL string I'm entering is correct - have used it numerous times on various computers. <br />
<br />
Anyone have any thoughts?<br />
