Install Problem Error 29503 && 1067 OR Error 29503 && 2146885628

I'm new with development and just wanted to get the Personal Website Sample to work. So far, I'm have am having a terrible time installing SQL Express Edition. I'm not exactly sure what to do next. I have installed, manually uninstalled, and reinstalled many times. Sometimes I get error 29503 & 1067. Other times when I reinstall I get 29503 & -2146885628 . Here's the info I got so far for my 29503&1067 since that error occurs 95% of time. I believe I got the -2146885628 error when I changed a setting from network to local services.

I feel so confused right now. Any help would be appreciative.
