Summary
“Services” is an alphabetical list of all programs installed on your computer. One of the first things to verify when encountering problems with SQL is its listing in the “Services” window. When you open the “Services” window you are checking for two things: 1. SQL is listed and 2. SQL is running. This article primarily focuses on number 2 of that process, and how to re-start the program if it is not running.

Note Before You Begin

• You will be making changes in the processes of services running on your computer. It is important that you make no other changes to services than the ones suggested here.

·         Close all programs and windows before beginning, including error messages and other dialogue boxes. Your computer should be in a neutral state.
 
Step-by-Step
1. Go to the Start Menu at the bottom left of your screen, and select the program “Run”. (If you do not see “Run”, search for it in the search field and then open the program.)


 
2. Type “services.msc” into the text box and click “OK.”
 

 
3. This will pull up a window that looks like this:
 

 
Scroll down to the program titled “SQL Server (SQL EXPRESS)”. 
 

 
Note: In order to see the full name you may need to extend the “Name” field. To do this, double-click on the seam between the “Name” field and the “Description” field.
 
Note: If you do not see the program “SQL Server (SQL Express)” you will need to re-install. Go to article “Services are not installed” for more information on how to re-install.
 
4. Locate the “Status” field next to the “SQL Server (SQL EXPRESS).”  Check for the word “Started” in the “Status” field; Check for the word “Automatic” in the “Startup Type.” For example:
 

 
5. If you do not see “Started” right-click on the “SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)”. A menu will appear. Click on “Start” at the top of the menu.
 

 
6. If you do not see “Automatic” right-click on the “SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)”. A menu will appear. Click “Properties.” A new menu will appear. Make sure you are under the “General” tab.
 
7. In the center of this new window is a field labeled “Startup Type:”. Click on it and select “Automatic” from the drop-down options. If done correctly, the screen will look like this:
 

 
8.Click “OK”.
 
9. Close the Services window and restart your computer.
 
10. Open your MyoVision software. The problem should be resolved.
