On a stand alone Windows XP, all with latest updates...

After installing the latest BCM (office 2003) from scratch, the SQL icon
(computer with white circle) appears in the icon tray (by the time);
however, the white circle does not have a green arrow and when you open SQL
Services Manager, it shows the server (the stand alone computer) by no
services are listed in the drop down box; however, pause and stop are valid
options (not grayed out);  it also says Not Connected and the server name
(i.e. the stand alone computer) at the bottom.  When I click "Refresh
Services" button, I get an Access Denied dialog box (I sometimes get this
dialog box on start up of the computer).  BCM works fine.

The above behavior is different than other programs that use SQL (usually
there is a green arrow in the whte circle and the SQL Service Manager shows
a service running, referesh services button works fine.).

Why SQL behaving differently with BCM?  Why is the icon there (I know BCM
uses SQL)?

Does this interfer with other programs using other instances in SQL?

Thanks
