Msde

i'm posting this here because people actually look at this area. I just installed msde 2000. I can't connect to the server though, i think it wanted my password when it was installing, i dont' have a password, so i just left it blank. But it doesn;t connect now. I understand none of the configured $hit and have no idea what i am doing. I used to have it on my old pc, which was running win2k. I am running xp:he on this comp.

my sql server service manager isn't up either.

omg i can't uninstall the flaming piece of $hit either
