Hello,
I am having trouble just starting SQL Server 2005. When I try to use Management Studio, I do not see any server name. I just need to be able to start it up!
Thanks,

Hi pagates,
One of the easiest ways to start SQL Server 2005 is go to Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services. Look up for a service by the name SQL Server or SQL Server (your instance name), right click -> Start. If you do not see this service listed, it is likely that you have installed only the client tools for SQL Server 2005 and not the server.
Hope that helps,
Amol.
