I have installed SQL Server Standard on Windows 7 Professional.

The Server Name shows as <computer name>\SQLEXPRESS although I did not name the instance that during setup. The database instance is installed but I cannot get it to show in the Connect to Server, Server name drop list. Only SQLEXPRESS shows in the drop list. I have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times.

What is the problem? Can some help me?

Thanks!

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.
