SQL doesn't remember my default Server Name

Hi,

I set SQL up and followed the instructions to set up an NETSDK name and I have the checkbox checked to start the service everytime windows starts. Now my problem:

Everytime Windows starts the SQL Server icon in the system tray has a empty white circle instead of the white circle with a green arrow (represents running). In addition, the Server dropdown box is always empty. It will not remember the server name so I can pick from the dropdown box.

Anyone know how I can get to automatically work. I remember setting SQL up about a year ago but I did not give it a name, I used the default and it worked fine.
Any work-arounds for this problem?


Thank you for all your help

Tom
