Error connectin to SQL 2005 Express

I've just installed Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express beta 2
(all on my local PC). I try to connect to the SQL server from studio using
"Tools/Connect to database" selecting my local pc in the "Select or enter a
server name" combo box. I can select my pc's name but when I try to expand
the "Select or enter database name" combo or press the "Test connection"
button I get the following error:
"Shared memory provider: The specified module could not be found"
Any ideas?

Error after installing Whidbey!

I've installed Whidbey (VS Studio .net 2005 beta 1) (i already had VS .Net
2003 installed as well) and now I can't open my old sql databases! An
mmc.exrror comes up: The instruction at "0x00000000" referenced memory at
"0x00000000". The memory could not be "read". Any idea how this could be
fixed? Cheers in advance.Nab wrote:

I sure hope you didn't install on a production server. Beta software is
not certified for production use. The two .Net editions should co-exist
without a problem. In fact, that's one of the benefits of .Net. That is,
it supports multiple installed versions (in production form).
What do you mean "can't open your SQL databases"? It's not clear what's
installed on your PC, where your SQL Servers are located (local vs.
server). Are you saying that SQL 2000 runs fine, but SQL EM won't allow
you to browse your server? What application are you running?
