That part in bold. Yeah, lets leave using profanity and someone's god out of this alright? I know it's frustrating, but this post frankly is offensive.

Now onto your problem

First off, are you both running the exact same version of Windows 7?

What error messages are your receiving? Is it during installation, after installation?

Is there a reason why you will not upgrade to SQL Server 2005 Express?
