Help with Sql Management Studio Vista install

I just recently purchased a sony with Vista business preloaded. It seems like it came with MS 2005 Sql Server but I'm not sure what edition. I went to the start menu to locate the Management Studio however the only option was the Configuration file. I went to MS site and downloaded the 2005 Sql Server Express Edition with Advance Service SP2 and it installed correctly. I believe this edition comes with Management Studio. However when I went to my Start Menu, the Management Studio file is still not there. How do I fix this problem? I am new to the MS Sql so a detail explanation will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Most things in setup are disabled by default, you have to explicitelly select it from the feature list during installation. You can go into Add/Remove Programs, Select Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and click Change to add more features.

Help with SBE Business Contact Manager

I'm not sure if this is the correct place but I'm stuck!

I installed MS SBE 2003 w/ business contact manager and for about a week it worked well. Then funny things started happening. I got to the point where the business task menu pull down menu (from within Outlook 2003) was not even showing up! The contact manager that is under the same window as the regular contacts would only display the name of the contact but nothing else stating that the Business Contact Manager was unable to Initialize this Form. Ouch! That sucked.

So, I backed up everything I could think of (exported all bits and pieces of my Outlook to individual PST files and copied those to my external drive. Then I attempted to uninstall MSO SBE which worked sort of. It couldn't take out the SQL part and now even after a complete Norton Wipe, Disk Defrag and Registry Repair it still doesn't uninstall or reinstall properly. All other aspects of MSO SBE work except for the part that I bought it for the use of the database.

Could someone please assist or direct me to where I might be able to get some help - I don't know much VB but can find what I need with some help.

Anything is better than where I am now! Please help if you can.

Thanks!!

I also am experiencing this problem any help would be greatly appreciated.|||I'm having the same problem ...please someone out there HELP ......|||

I just found out how to fix this... open outlook...select help... then select about ms office outlook... select disabled items once you enable the BCM close outlook and open it again... voila is that simple...

|||I am getting the "Outlook business manager was unable to initialize this form" message but it's only happening when I try to design the form. I have SP2 installed, I am not importing or copying any BCM stuff. It's all new. BCM doesn't not show as being disabled. Any one have an explaination?
