I'm getting an error installing SQL Server 2000 on my new WinXP computer - -
"An error occurred while creating 1 or more registry entries.....Problem
could be caused by a low registry quota"

I've never heard of this one - - - any ideas?

You can only run either SQL Server 2000 Personal or Developer Edition on
Windows XP Pro. SQL Server 2000 Standard or Enterprise will only run
on a Server version of Windows.

Yes, you're right - and that's what I'm trying to do - install the Developer
Edition on WinXP pro - - (sp1 since our company hasn't sanctioned sp2 yet)
