POS was running fine on a pc running on Windows Xp. Motherboard died. Bought new pc which of course is running Vista. I have installed the old harddrive as a secondary drive on the new pc and I kept getting this remote connection database error not allowed. Well, I reinstalled POS on the primary harddrive and now I get a cannot connect to the database error.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Hi, Recently I studied that vista does not support SQL 2005 express edition and I belive becuase I don't have POS 2 but have information, you need to install the latest SP for the SQL 2005 on your vista machine. Here is note by MS:
Note: SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1 can be installed on Windows Vista but has known issues with User Access Control. Service Pack 2 is the recommended patch level for Windows Vista support. SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (SQL Server Express) SP2 can be used to install a new instance of SQL Server Express
