BCM Fails during installation

[Guest]

I received a virus on my PC which disabled all my programs. I had to
reinstall Office 2003 and BCM. When I try to install BCM the installation
fails saying it can't contact the server? Also, do you know where my
original BCM database information is stored? Please let me know if you're
able to help...I'd really appreciate it.

If BCM can't contact the server you should first verify that you have a
process named sqlmangr.exe running. If not check that you have Sql
Server service named something like <your-machine-name>\MICROSOFTSMLBIZ
and that it is set to start automatically.

The MSDE (Sql Server) databases are stored in .MDF files in something
similar to c:\Documents and Settings\<your-login-name>\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Business Contact Manager
