title: Launch SQL Server on Windows 7
body: <p>I've installed SQL Server 2005 on Windows 7.  My Windows 7 installation is 64 bit, but I couldn't figure out how to get the 64 bit SQL Server so I have the 32 bit version.  I installed all 4 service packs, and restarted my computer.</p>
  
  <p>While SQL Server Management Studio is willing to launch, I do not have the mssqlserver service, or any other service that could be SQL Server.</p>
  
  <p>How do I get the SQL Server service running so I can use SQL Server 2005 on my Windows 7 machine?</p>
  
  <p>As you can see, I have no services available.  I did not get any error messages when I did the install.</p>
