    I do have the SQLServer icon in the tray, stopped of
    course.

    I am logged in to the box as Doug with administrator
    privledges, SQLServer is set to logon using Local System
    account.

    The exact message I get when trying to start from
    Computer Management console is: 

    --
A connection could not be established to (local).
Reason: SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
ConnectionOpen (Connect())...
Please verify SQL Server is running and check your SQL 
Server registration properties (by right-clicking on the 
(local) node) and try again.
--
This had been working fine for months.  Nothing that I 
know of changed, other than these Windows Updates two or 
three days ago when the problem started.
This is my development machine and I'm right in the 
middle of a project, so I REALLY appreciate your help 
here.
