I have SQL installed, but as far as I know, I never use it. I don't even know what it is/does. Can I uninstall it, or will that stuff up some programs?
If something used it, it would have been something you installed. Nothing by default in Windows should use it.
Start->run-> type cmd hit enter, then type the following and press enter...
sqlcmd -s localhost -q "select * from sysdatabases"
what comes back?
