Database Diagrams - SQL Server 2005 on Vista

Hi all
I am very new to SQL Server, I am working through my SQL Server 2005 for
beginners book.
I have SQL server 2005 installed on a Win 2003 Server. I have workstation
components installed on my Vista Box.
I am trying to create a database diagram. The DB is basic with just 4
tables. When I click new database diagram I get the message
The specified module could not be found.
(MS Visual Database Tools).
When I go to Advanced information for the error under program location I get
this message
at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32
errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo)
at
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.VSIntegration.Editors.VirtualProject.Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.VSIntegration.Editors.ISqlVirtualProject.CreateDesigner(Urn
origUrn, DocumentType editorType, DocumentOptions aeOptions,
IManagedConnection con)

Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.VSIntegration.Editors.ISqlVirtualProject.CreateDesigner(Urn
origUrn, DocumentType editorType, DocumentOptions aeOptions,
IManagedConnection con)
at
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.VSIntegration.Editors.VsDocumentMenuItem.CreateDesignerWindow(IManagedConnection
mc, DocumentOptions options)
When I connect to the same DB and create a database diagram from a Windows
XP machine all works OK
Any ideas on the problem please.
Thanks in advance

Try running Management Studio as a "real" administrator. (I've turned off UAC, and SSMS work just
fine for me. Perhaps you can start an app as a real admin with UAC on somehow...)

I went the Uninstall SQL 2005 and VS 2005, cleaned up restarted
re-installed.... now it works, that was about 4 hours of work.
