Dave,
Just loaded the sql server 2008 service pack 1 and now I get the following error when trying to create or edit a sql file. How do I fix this?
Thanks

Thats nothing, after installing SP1 every time I logon explorer.exe doesn’t start – so I have a nice blank screen to work with!
Using Windows Server 2008 Standard x64.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Cheers, Rich

Is this stuff ever tested? I mean, really. You guys fix one thing and break two more. Now I need to create a live id, register at connect.microsoft.com and create a dashboard just to submit a bug report.
Otherwise, I google for an answer only to find that not only are other people having this issue, but that the only solution your “engineers” can spout is “uninstall and re-install”.
Now I need to take time out of my day, pushing my deadlines back just to fix what you broke.
