MS POS crashing?

Hi all,

First time post here... currently running MS POS with all updates... running fine this afternoon until we were processing a credit transaction over the internet and it took over 8 minutes to process. Shut down MS POS s/w normally, reboot, now when i attempt to log into MS POS, i get the log in screen and log in, but after the splash screen, the program quickly terminates. I've tried a repair installation to no avail. Here are the two event viewer items in order of occurance:

1:) Source: SORules.Gateway.OpenConnection Process ID: 812 Unable to open the database connection for SORules. System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Invalid connection string attribute at ADODB.ConnectionClass.Open(String ConnectionString, String UserID, String Password, Int32 Options) at SORules.Gateway.OpenConnection()Stack trace: at ADODB.ConnectionClass.Open(String ConnectionString, String UserID, String Password, Int32 Options) at SORules.Gateway.OpenConnection()

2) Source: Microsoft.Rms.UI.Pos.PosApplicationContext.InitializeReally Process ID: 812 Event Message: Microsoft.Rms.UI.Pos.PosApplicationContext.InitializeReally.InitHardwareFailed.1

is my sql db corrupt? or should i just un-install and re-install? and if i do, will i loose everything (last backup was last week).

running on XP Pro SP3 box, data is local.
