Question asked on Jun 22, 2016

Yesterday I solved an issue of receiving blank incoming e-mails by completely uninstalling Essentials and reinstalling it. Today Photo Gallery will not start up and I get error message 0x8007045a. and am advised to download and install SQL server 2005 compact edition. I located this download on the Microsoft website, but the install failed, and I then got another note advising me to install Replication components for SQL server 2000 SP 3a or higher, or SQL server 2005 replication components.

I cannot find this bit of software to download and install. I am not terribly computer-savvy but can follow instructions. Any help would be appreciated, as I do prefer Photo Gallery to Picasa, etc.

regards

Mick
