at connection time you have to provide the full name of the MSDE instance...
if it is a default instance you only need to specify the ServerName (or
(Local) for local connections) where, for named instances, the full name is
composed by ServerName\InstanceName (or (Local)\InstanceName for a local
named instance)
please check in control panel->management tools->services applet what your
instance name is...
if you only find an entry like
MSSQLSERVER
this is a default instance...
if your see something like
MSSQLSERVER$some_name
this will be a named instance... so you'll have to connect providing
ComputerName\some_instance
