The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error for details.

SQLServerAgent could not be started (reason: Unable to connect to server 'ERROL-D33676A77\MSSQL_ERROL'; SQLServerAgent cannot start).


Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks!

Just to follow up... It also gives an error:

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
