This error means that the MSSQLServer service is already running and you are
trying to start it again. What are you doing when this error occurs?
You may have your SQL Server set up to start automatically when the computer
restarts. If you then run a program or a command-line utility that issues
a NET START MSSQLServer command, you will get this error.

|||thanks for the reply... from the error I had guessed it, but since it is
happening at a clients place so I don't have the details yet.
He was trying to start the MSDE setup when the error occured...
thanks
