I'm having a few problems getting MSDE to work. I've installed it from
my Office 2000 disks but I can't log into it from the osql command line
utility.

When I installed it, it set up a user for me, the same user as the
current windows user. I gave it the same password as the current
windows user to avoid confusion. But now osql won't let me log in as
this user.

I can't even uninstall it to try to install again as the unintalls
hield says that a file is in use even when the service is stopped.

Do I need a domain controller or some such on my network before this
will work? I hope not because currently I don't have one.
