Cannot start SQL Trace (Profiler) on Windows 2000 Professional

Hello all!
I have installed SQL Server 7 Client components on a Windows 2000
Professional machine.
I can start the Query analyzer and I can use it to connect to servers.
However, when I try to start SQL trace, I am getting the following
error message
"sqltrace.exe, not a valid win32 application."
Have any of you come across this problem? Please suggest a solution.
If you need any more information, please let me know.
Thank you,
Martin.
The file could have been corrupted. Have you checked your disk to see if
there are any errors?
You may be able to fix it by reinstalling the client utilities, if that is
not a problem.

Cannot see server name in the pick list

I have installed the MS SQL Server (Developer Edition) that comes with Visual Studuo 2005 Professional Edition into my computer. Seems like install is OK and I can see both SQLEXPRESS and MSSQLSERVER in configuration manager. I can start/stop both of the servers OK. However, when I try to make a connection from Visual Studuo 2005, I can only see SQLEXPRESS in the pick list in "Add Connection" window. SQLSERVER is not in the list.

The very first task I wanted to do is to convert and Access database to SQL. For that reason, I also installed "Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access". In that application I cannot even see any server name when the wizard asks which server to choose. I also tried to start/stop "Sql Server Browser" service. When I stop the service, the pick list becomes empty and when I start the service the pick list has only SQLEXPRESS.

So, how can I see or pick MSSQLSERVER to make a connection in either applications? Please note I am VERY NEW to SQL Server and I appreciate your answers with that consideration.

Thans in advance

Hi, what's your installation sequence? You installed MS SQL Dev first, then VS 2005 (which contains SQL Expr 2005)? or VS 2005 first then MSSQLDev?|||I installed VS 2005 and used it for many months then installed the SQL DVD that come with the VS 2005 pack.
