I'm using Sql server n 2005 developer in an as needed basis with Visual
studio 2005. A day ago I installed Sp1,
and found that now the visual studio gives me package loading errors. I've
posted about that in the visual studio forum. Beyond that, perhaps based on
what I had done manually, or perhaps not, I've looked in the services for
the Windows 2003 Server I use as a testbed and found that I have most of my
sql server services set on manual start: sql server, sql server agent, sql
server analyses services, sql server browser, full text search, integration
services, reporting services, vss writer.

What should I have on automatic, and what can I keep on manual to minimize
system load unless I'm actually using the service???

Thanks
