Studio Express connect failed (SQL Server 2008)?

Your image shows "Cannot connect to (local)". You should connect to (local)\SQLEXPRESS instead of (local).

Start->Programs->SQL Server 2008 (or SQL Server 2008 R2)->Configuration Tools->SQL Server Configuration Manager.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
