It does not appear that your account was used to list or bid on any items. Additionally, the email address on your account may have been tampered with, which is why you may not have received any emails about this activity.

  4. User Access Problem on Vista Not Compatible With SQL Server · · Score: 1

    Nothing too sensational here. SQL Server Express does not work because it assumes that the user has admin privileges on the machine, there is already a fix for this, the problem is expressed here http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2006/10/1 1/getting-things-working-on-vista-aka-dealing-with -user-account-control.aspx Sumary:
    In short, SQL Express assumes you're an administrator on the computer in order to give you permissions to do things. As part of the default installation, we create Logins for the Builtin\Administrator user and the Builtin\Administrators group and assign both of these Logins to the SysAdmin Fixed Server Role. This way, everyone on the computer who is part of the Administrators group, is automatically a SysAdmin. This does not work in Vista.
