Does not allow remote connections

I have installed SQL Server 2005 Std on an XP system for development using V
S 2005. When I try to
connect to the DB via Server Management Studio, I get the message that "...
does not allow remote
connections".
When I launch Surface Area Configuration and select the Surface Area Configu
ration for Services and
Connections, I see only 4 services listed: Analysis, Reporting, Integration
and SQL Server Browser.
There is no Database Engine Service listed!
Have I installed incorrectly?
TIA LarsHello,
Please check if the following folder exist:
%programfiles%\Microsoft sql server\mssql.1\mssql\data
If it does not exist, it seems the database engine is not installed, you
may want to go to Add/Remove program to install this component.
