It's not a permanent fix; if yo log off and back on, it'll have "forgotten". I'm looking into a more permanent fix.

I am no expert with MSDE, but we do use it for a few other databases, not loaded on our ISA of course. My problem is that I noticed it doesnt look like it is working. Usually the icon in the system tray has a green arrow when it is running. Well ours just shows the white empty circle. When I go into the MSDE manager by double-clicking the systray icon and try to select the service running on our ISA from the drop down list, nothing is listed for our ISA server, but it does see/show our MSDE loaded on other servers. Is this normal? If not any suggestions?
