Error 29515 - Encryption Not Supported On Client - Wtf??

I have tried reinstalling the sqlncl.msi - re-booting etc without success.

I'm on windows vista beta 2 build 5384.

Brand spanking new machine (less that 48 hrs old) and I can't beleive my bad luck with sql express.  My xp pro machine works fine.

 

Hers's the error:

Can anyone advise.  I'm willing to take a "you'll have to re-build your machine" response if I have to.  But I just need to know if this really is required.

Thank you,

John.
