Login as “local service” appears to have corrected “Error Code 3417? This also worked for me. I think the problem started when I loaded a new key for MS Office 2007 Small Biz on a new system in the Admin account. I then created a new user account with Admin rights, switched to that account and the problems started. It looked like the service defaults to This Account instead of Local User Account. The problem was This account was where it was first loaded, the Administrator Account.

Now if only someone can figure out why my MsIE refuses to open anything on http! (https works, and so does any other web-app)

As Andy said above, granting full control did the trick.
Having read, read & execute, write, modify didn’t work!

I thought the configuration manager was supposed to take care of all required permissions?

Thanks for the help.

I found that granting the “Network Service” account Full Permission on the “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data” folder done the trick.

Hope this helps.

Thanks all! Some updates changed the service login. Switching to the Local Service account did it for us.

Windows control panel -> Performance and maintenance -> Administrative tools -> Services ->right click on SQLEXPRESS -> Properties -> Under Logon tab check Local logon and allow interact with local services… worked for mine. But I am using Business Contact Manager and Accounting 2007. So services appears different. Faster way is START > Run type services.msc. Then on SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ)right click and on the LogOn tab select Local System Account and check Allow service to interact with Desktop.
