Find out what program is using this process and troubleshoot it.

Start Orb>Search box>type: msconfig and when it appears in the Results box
above, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator".

If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation,
type the password, or click Continue. Then see what is on the Startup tab.
You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll get
a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Usually in Vista this will be
blocked by Windows Defender and you'll need to allow it so you can then
tick the box that says in effect, "don't bother me about this again".

Important - Do not use the System Configuration Utility to stop processes.
Instead, use Services.

Start Orb>Search box>type: services and when it appears in the Results box
above, right-click and choose "Run As Administrator". Confirm elevation as
needed.

The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup -

Helllo, thanks for reply.
Could you please answer, what is Microsoft SQL Server?

SQL Server is a database backend. Normally you wouldn't find it by itself on
a home computer but there are programs that use it (or a cut-down tailored
version of it). One of the most common examples is the Outlook Business
Contact Manager. If you installed this when you installed Office, that's
what brought SQL Server along. In all my years of doing tech support, I've
never found an end user who used the Business Contact Manager but because
they didn't do an informed Office install, they got it! If this fits your
bill, you can uninstall the Outlook Business Contact Manager and then
uninstall the SQL entries in Control Panel>Programs & Features.

If this doesn't fit your situation, then probably some other program you've
installed makes use of a database. It's not uncommon to see this in
specialized business programs. Of course, there's no way for me to know
what you have installed so unless this information about Business Contact
Mgr. made you go "aha!", you still need to find out what programs are
starting with Windows so you can troubleshoot the error.
