Ok. The pressure is off for now. Have the current backup running on by
primary backup SQL server.
What I need help on now How do I get the Primary SQL server running. It
just will not start.
Now that I have some tome I can put in a little more details.
(Running SQL6.5 w/sp3)
I changed the memory to 44000 and the tempdb to 0 are suggested below. When
I went to restart, the SQL server it would not. When I look in the error
file I get what is listed below. In services the SQL Server is off but the
SQLExecutive is running.
I do not know what the MODEL database is..
I suspect that it will not start because of the tempdb 0 but I have no
idea how to change it since the SQL server will not start so I can change
it.
Do I have to reinstall SQL?. If I do I loose the information?
What dose the SQL wisdom of this list recommend?

My LACK of SQL knowledge fills volumes.!!
