Connecting to SQL2005 express

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to (Northwind) SQL2005 express from VS2005 express
edition .
When I test the connection, I get the error:
"Generating user instances of SQL server is disabled. Use sp_configure 'User
instances enabled' to generate user instances".
I run sp_configure with the above command, but the issue remains.
Any ideas on this?
Many thanks in advance for any help
Ant
Does this help?
