Hi,
I'm trying to instal sql server 2008 R2 (at windows 7), but I encounter an error at the installation, the error text is "the service did not start due to a logon failure", please help me how can I fix the problem?

--additional information--I installed sql server 2008 some days ago and I restored a .bak database with it but I couldn't attach any database at sql server or visual studio, then I uninstalled sql and visual studio and reinstalled again, but now the installation has failure.

thank you for helping

Go to your services applet in control panel and check out the properties of the SQL Server service. Either change it to be local system account or fix the account/password.

thank you for helping,
I changed the properties of sql server at services to Local system but it didn't work and I reinstalled it but I encounter the same error, and the installation was with failures and I couldn't connect to sql server and run the program.
I don't know why I encounter this problem, the first time that I installed this version of sql server at my computer, I didn't encounter any problem.
I don't know what should I do, I uninstalled and reinstalled several times but it has the same error..
