access SQL instance issue

I have a MSDE instance running on a server. I am able to start the services
for the
engine. But when I try to access the instance through "SQL Enterprise
Manager" I
get an error message.
"[server name] - SQL Server does not exist or access is denied."
I tried to access the instance through "Windows Authentication" and "SQL
Server Login" and I get the same error message.
I tried reinstalling "MSDE 2000A Desktop Engine" and SP4. I am able to start
the SQL services and I can restore a few databases from backup to the
instance.
Also during reinstallation of "MSDE 2000A Desktop Engine" I set the sa
password
using the SAPWD switch.
Questions:
Is there somthing that I am forgetting to do?
How can I access the instance through SQL Enterprise Manager?
Thanks in advanceGreg,
Instance? Have you tried servername\instancename?

There is no place to enter that info in SQL Enterprise Manager.
Is there anywhere else I can enter that info?

I don't use MSDE but if EM sees it as another SQL Server and not the default
install then it probably sees it as a named instance. When you're
registering MSDE. For more information on named instances see:

MSDE instance. I need to access thaat instance from SQL Enterprise Manager. I
only installed EM from the SQL 2000 CD so that I can access the MSDE instance.
How about this, How do I put the MSDE instance in single-user mode?

So MSDE is the only SQL Server installed? Try registering with the machine
IP address. Or if that doesn't work try:
(local)
