Am not computer savvy - please give me a SIMPLE step by step handling -
IE 7.0 Microsoft version 5.1 service pack 2 windows Home Edition SQL 2005
Recently downloaded Microsoft Office Accounting 2007 Trial offer - never used it as i recently got trained on Quickbooks and want to use it. Went to add/remove to remove the program. I did the uninstall - seemed to go fine. None of the add ons would uninstall though and on re booting
am receiving the following error message at bootup: "Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with..... goes on to say i need to uninstall and re intsall it.
I presume I can uninstall it on the add remove area but then how do i re install it. I have read tons of answers to this same questin but i just don't have the computer savvy to understand them.
I need a stp by step plan to follow to correct this problem. And on how ot uninstall the adds on to the accounting program.
At the smae time i had two folders pop up on my desktop - one says % system drive% and is 62. kb the other is %user folder% and is 90 kb. What the heck are they and what do i do with them.
Thanls for your time and consideration. AB

Thanks for the data on the %system drive% - I will delete it. Should I also delete the %userfolder % ?
Hi,
I think that uninstalling SQL wont harm anything.

PS Let us know if that doesnt clean it up. There is a MS Utility to do that, but first try uninstalling it.
