[?]: WInCC Flexible 2008 MSSQL EXEPRESS error

[phairat_ph]

I just download WinCC Flexible 2008 for Window 7. Encountering this massage while trying to open a project.
Would you please advise ?

" Can not connect to configurated SQL server.
Make sure that the service MSSQL$WINCCFLEXEPRESS is running and not disabled.
If this does not help, try reinstalling the WinCC Flexible DB Server "

Thank you
