Problems connecting to server using Management Studio

Hi all,
I got this problem which makes me struggle in the last few days.
I am able to connect to my local server using a query analyzer or calling sql commands in a window application, but there's no way I can access it in Management Studio: by clicking "Connect" it just waits forever, and it doesn't respond to any other command (it must be shut by terminating the process)
Got any hints?

Thanks

Mauro

Try restarting the sql services may be your server is in hunged state......but i am not sure if that would solve the problem

|||Unfortunately, it doesn't do the trick... in fact, it's like Manag. Studio is able to connect to the server (I can see the list of databases in advanced options) but it doesn't show the result afterwards. Could it be a security/account problem?

Thanks

M|||Hi again,
just another hint trying to understand what's going on.
I just spent a couple of hours removing both the server and the client components and install it again, but the problems remains. Does configuration survive removal? Or should I look somewhere else?

Thanks

Mauro
|||From Management Studio are u trying to connect using Windows authentication or SQL authentication?
|||Both actually. And the result is the same connecting to a local or remote machine, that's why I am quite curious about this error (that in fact makes development harder... )
