I got a new computer last week and there is an icon near the clock that looks like a image of a computer. When I click on it a small window opens on the desk-top that says:
SQL Server Service Manager
Server__________________
Services_________________
Start/continue
Pause
Stop
Not connected
_____________________________________________________________
So what does any of this mean to me?
Did you buy the computer used? SQL Server is a database. I doubt you have much use for it.

brand new Dell XPS 400 running MS XP Media and Firefox browser (as well as IE)
SQL is a ubiquitous but archaic database language. You would use it if you were a programmer who wanted to set up a database system.
If this doesn't apply to you... just ignore it.
So, my question is why is it on my new comuter and why?
I imagine it's not the only software that came with your computer that you don't have any use for.
Possibly some software loaded on the computer at the factory requires
a SQL server and so the SQL server was loaded as part of that.
Dys, that being a new, under-warranty machine, your best bet for resolving the question prolly is the vendor's support channel. Dell is fairly good, comparatively (which really ain't saying a lot), when it comes to online and/or telephone user warranty support.

Year really Timber, I got 30 days to speak to someone in India named "Susie" at no charge other than "please, you're service tag number?"
