i already ran aspnet_regsql but i still get below...anyone know why? thanks in advance

Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.

Check whether SQL Server 2005 Express is running.

Hi, Firstly ensure that you have completed aspnet_regsql properly by running through and check that the tables are there by using a application such as SQL server management tool.

Then ensure that the web.config file has the correct connection string for your website.

Any problems just post back here.
