Cannot create New Database in SQL Server 2008 - sql-server

Anyone please give me some ideas what to do next? I have a 2008 SQL Server installed, and try to create a DB on my PC \SQLExpress, however, I come up with the following message:
Cannot write property isfilestream this property is not available on sql server 7.0
Actually I have already enabled this via the properties within Management Studio and via the configuration tool, but the message still pops out...
My computer originally has 2008, but because I cannot access to the local server .\SQLExpress, then I re-downloaded the 2012 SQL Server, and then is able to access to the local server via 2008 SQL management studio. Not sure if this is related to my issue
Thank you so much in advance!

Unable to connect to SQL Server 2008 R2 from SQL Server Management studio or Toad for SQL Server

I have been Using SQL Server 2008 R2 database for quite sometime. All was working fine till two days back w.r.t connecting the database from SQL Server Management studio. Now if I try to connect, it keeps on connecting and it never shows me connected database in Object Explorer. Same thing happens when I try to connect using Toad for SQL Server.
Image showing connection details
However I am able to connect the same database (which is installed on my local machine) from my peer's SQL Server Management studio and he was able to access that database properly. Also I am able to connect the same database from my web application (which is also installed on my local machine) and also from Eclipse --> Database Development plugin.
I even reinstalled just the SQL Server Management Studio (I haven't uninstalled MSSQLSERVER during this) and tried again, yet it was showing the same result.
Also currently in the client protocols, Shared Memory, TCP/IP and Named Pipes are enabled.
Please let me know if anyone has come across this strange problem and really appreciate your help.

Local server in SQL Server 2012 Management Studio

I've installed Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Studio today and now I'm trying to connect to server. As far as I know there should be default local server that would allow me to create a database in it. Unfortunately, my list of servers is empty and I cannot connect to anything. I've read tutorials and tried everything, even reinstalling all the Microsoft SQL Package. How can I fix this problem and find/create my local server?
Ok, I've read that there might be a problem with connecting to database even if whole microsoft package gives me LocalDB. I had to install Visual Studio, then clicked View -> SQL Server Project Explorer. Right click at 'SQL Server', I added new database and then entered its name. Now I can connect with my own server by typing '(localdb)\v11.0' in management studio.

how can I add a server to SQL management studio?

i just installed sql management studio 2014 but the actual server does not appear, like if it is not installed at all. I already looked on services on my computer, and I looked on the SQL configuration manager under SQL server services and there are no elements.
I actually can access the management studio but i cant write anything under the sever name.
Can you tell me what i did wrong? why is there no server?
Thanks

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio unable to connect to Server

I freshly installed Microsoft SQL Server on my machine and started it. When I try to connect to a server I use a . for the server name (which should point to the local machine from what I read?). However I get the following error:
So I went to the SQL Server Configuration Manager and checked under SQL Server Services, which seems to be empty.
How can I establish a connection?
Your services are not running.
Make sure you installed this.
The above answer was correct, however, you only installed the SQL Server Management Studio.
If you installed Express, downloaded from the Microsoft website you might want to download and create the server instance with the management studio. You will need to select if you want Windows authentication or SQL Server authentication using a username and password. Remember to add the current windows user for using either.
Here is SQL Server 2014 Express: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/dn434042.aspx.
This will download everything you need to connect to a server.
Please let me know if you need more information.

SQL Server 2012 Browser Service doesn't appear

I've installed SQL Server 2012 and Management Studio Express. I attached the database that belongs my previous Project in Visual Studio. But I am having SqlException Error , I think the reason of the error is SQL Server. Because when I look at active services, I only see SQL Server VSS Writer service. I can't see SQL Server Browser Service and other SQL Server services. How can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance.
When you run SQL Server Express, by default, the named instance option is selected with SQLExpress as the instance name. Ab example "SERVER01\SQLEXPRESS".
You should have a browser service but can you give the SQL Exception you're having because this migth have a clue what's going wrong.
