Hey sorry about double posting!!
Right i have foudn a way to stop the gate connecting and dis connecting by opening sel char gate before the dbserv gate However i still have the m2server error, i tired sql 2000 and the m2 loads fine but i get the gate dis connected gate connected error over and over. No matter what order i open the gates i get this error!
I know you cant use sql 2000 on vista due to this gate connected gate disconnected error but i still need some help with my m2server error i know its not the files as the m2serv opened fine with sql 2000
Please someone help me out

!
Cheers if you can!
