Hello -

I downloaded everything and installed MSDE (I'm running Windows 2000
Professional). I can see the instance I installed on my local C drive.

When I click on the icon for Sql Server Service Manager, and click down on
the arrow, there is nothing in there; there also is nothing under Services.

What have I done wrong?

you can, if you like and get your sysadmin approval, enable network
protocols as well...
