New Installation - Can Not Connet to Server On My PC

I have just installed SQL Express and Server Management Studio on my PC. I also have IIS 5.0 on WinXP. When I open Management Studio and try to connect the sI get the following error message:- Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider) .

This happens if I change the server, change the authentication method or try my user name or the 'sa ' user. To make things even more frustrating I did the same installation on my laptop earlier this year with no problems.

Has anyone any answers to my problem?

Thanks

hi,

having modified the authentication property (and restarted the service), did you enable the sa login?.. verify in the Instance->Security->Logins->sa Properties (Status tab) the login is enabled..

New Folder link not doing anything

Ive just installed Reporting Services onto Window 2003. I have Visual studio
2003 installed and IIS 6
When I go to the report manager the 'New folder' link does not work nor can
i create a new data source or upload a file. I click on these and nothing
happens.
When I go to a different machine other than the one where the server is
installed and go to the Report manager URL these links work, however this is
problematic as the datasource and reports etc sit on the server.
Anyone have any similar problems?.. what i do notice is on the server i am
prompted for a username and password each time i start report manager and am
thinking this might have something to do with it, on a different machine i am
prompted once and then not again.
thanksAdd the URL to your report server to Local Intranet Sites in your browser.
That should take care of the username prompting, and might solve the
problems with the links not working.
Add http://myreportserver/ , not http://myreportserver/reports.

files. I recall that something like http://machinename is stored in some
values by the isntallation routine. If you access SRS with a name other
than the machine name, the buttons stop working. Look in both config files
for Reports and ReportServer.
