Reload the OS? So you think this is a Windows setup problem? (I am loading full SQL Server 2005).

  the following may not help a lot, but...
  visit vmware.com and download their "free" vmserver, next install a clean OS
  and retry your VS2005/SS2005.  There may be other conflicts with your
  exisiting environment.  are you doing the full version or the express?
