> are you sure your accessing the right instance or server?

Yes I have only one instance.

>Do you see anything in the sql server error log? Is there anything in the Event Log?

Yes. There is a non-fatal error. This is a portion of the log. This error is because the SQL SERVER AGENT is not installed on this machine. Do not ask me why. I really do not know -I wasn't here then- and nobody here can explain me this.

However I cannot install the SQL AGENT and check if this is the error. I might do it later on a SERVER IMAGE.

Thanks for all.
