    Hi

    Is there a quick query that will show me how many instances of SQL server are installed on my laptop and what version they are (2000, 2005 etc) and what their names are?

    Thanks

    select @@VERSION

    this will tell you what version is running on your machine

    to check versions

    click on

    connect --> goto "browser for more" from servername -- > on local server you will get all running instances.

    You could look in Admin Tools-->Services and see what SQL Server Services are installed.

    Or in the registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server, there's a key 'Installed Instances'

    Run the SQL Server Configuration Manager - this will show you all the SQL related services running on the machine.
