I installed SQL Server configuration manager and management studio version 2005, on windows 7 Ultimate.

I added a game server to the database and everything worked fine till where I started configuring the game’s database and I was prompted to restart/stop/start the server, this is where I was baffled by the errors. I know there are several ways you can do this restart, but I cannot seem to get any to work for issues unknown to me.

I have tried running cmd prompt using the commands: 

 net stop mssql server

also tried manually doing it from management studio, where the option to restart in the pull down menu appears to be unavailable.

It’s helpful if I could get rid of this problem before I can move on to extensive table editing as this itself is being a major pain.

    From the start menu, run: services.msc

    Scroll down to Sql Server (SQLEXPRESS)

    • Replace “SQLEXPRESS” with your instance name

    Right click –> Restart
