I’m running BCM for Outlook 2007. Windows XP Pro 64 Bit. I get an error saying I cannot start bcm because the sql server service (the bcm database service) is not running. Start the service, and then restart outlook. I’ve already followed these instructions and I still cannot get bcm to run, and side note, have no BCM menu bar in Outlook, it used to be there. BCM database service is running (automatic), when I check Services. I stop and start it and then and then restart Outlook and…same error message. Of my SQL services, these are running and set to Automatic: SQL Server VSS Writer, and Browser. These are not running: SQL Server Active Directory Helper, and SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ). More, “my” login is the login that logs into SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ). I checked and have full read/write and other permissions. Is my problem with MSSMLBIZ? It is not running, I have login rights to it, and when I try to Start it, I get this error: Windows could not start MSSMLBIZ…service-specific error code 3417. After some research, I discovered a suggestion to make sure of the following: Double click on the service " SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) " and check the "Log On" tab. Make sure that the Local System Account radio button is selected. So I changed my login from “my” login to Local System Account. Still, I cannot Start SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ). I still get the previous service-specific error code 3417 error. Help?
