Just for everybody's information, I did have to uninstall the eval and then
install the full version of MSSQL 7. I don't know how some people got it
to work, there must be some difference in the eval version I had and what
others had. I had the eval version from MSDN. After much research, I
found the answer in the MS newsgroups which then also led to
www.ntfaq.com/sql.html, specifically Neil Pike's contrib section. A
sp_dettach_db [$DB_NAME] -> uninstall eval-> install retail -> sp_attach_db
[$DB_NAME] is pretty much the exact procedure I had to follow (after making
a backup of the DB files, of course). It's all working peachy now. Yay.

Just an FYI.
