Dear sir,
I've installed SQL Server 2008 on my machine running on Win XP SP3

I changed startup type of sql server from 'Automatic' to 'manual' from the "SQL Server Configuration Manager",

when i try to start sql server by right clicking on it
I get the error message

The request failed or service did not respond in timely fashion,
Consult the event log or other application error logs for details

help,

Regards,
Nitin

Try putting it back to Automatic and see if it happens again. If it does, you have more problem that you thought :)

Good Luck!!!
