I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 on windows 2008 server. i am able to get connected to management studio but the status light with white circle.

the status lights in my Enterprise manager are no longer working. I am connected to the databases.

I can't use right-click the instance icon to select "start", "stop", "pause", "resume" or "restart" because they are all grayed out. But all the rest operations are available.

Where should I look more into then?

Thanks for your inputs in advance!

As suggested in http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=164486

check under RUN->Services.msc look for MS SQL Server service of your instance. you need to connect to server where you installed r2 and do it.
