title: Sql Server Express 2008 - Can't Create Database
body: <p>This has happened to me on two different machines. When I run SSMS I am unable to create a database. I've seen other posts about giving users permissions, but it seems like a catch 22 because I don't have rights to give other users permissions. I know there were posts about a Surface Area Configuration Tool, but I don't see that with SS 2008. Is this possibly an installation issue?</p>
