Named Instance Not Visible local instance visible but does not exist?!?!

I have installed a named instance of MSDE on 4 machines with no problems.
Some had preexisting versions of local which were uninstalled no problems.
On this machine the local instance has been uninstalled. The names instance
installs fine however when you try to connect the named instances are not
visible but the now non existing local instance is visible. Connecting to
ether by manually typing in computername\instancename does not work. I have
removed folders registry values ect with no luck. Any Ideas?

|||I only have the MSQL&Instancename and the SQLAGENT$instancename.
They are both set to log in with the localmachine administrator.
When I try to conntect with query analyzer it doesn't show up in the
list but just the computername does. When I type in the
computername/instancename it says connecting then after a bit I get
undable to connect to server computername\instancename:
Server:Msg17,level16, State 1
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]Sql Server does not exist
or Access is denied.
Same thing when I just click on the computername that is in the list
of available servers after I click the refresh button.
If I uninstall everything then the computername is not available. But
once I reinstall an instance its back.
I even removed all the SQL server Registry enteries under local
machine > software > microsoft still no luck.

MySQL and MSSQL?

Is it possible to have both these products installed in the same system?
And if so what the best versions for each that would be best here? Thanks.

Yes. Pay attention to TCP/IP ports, if you do not change them, no problem.
Tune up your server and your databases. Be careful on choosing the server
hardware, remember that it will be a "double database" server and you could
possible find a bottleneck soon.

Thanks.
SQL Server: use 2000 version
MySQL: try 4.0.14, avoid 4.1.x series
