I've just installed SQL Server Express and attempted to create my first database and received this error message :-(

Maybe this is a long shot, but can someone tell me what I've done wrong? Do I have a bad install or what?

Essentially I followed the steps below to create the database:

1. Started MS SQL Server Management studio Express
2. Right clicked on the Database folder
3. Selected "New Database..."
4. New Database panel displayed
5. Entered name of database - pip
6. Clicked "OK"
7. Receieved error dialog with followig message:

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
------------------------------

Create failed for Database 'pip'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=9.00.2047.00&EvtSrc=Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ExceptionTemplates.FailedOperationExceptionText&EvtID=Create+Database&LinkId=20476

check whether the Model Database is AutoColse enabled...
select DATABASEPROPERTY ('model' , 'IsAutoClose') -- if this statement return 1 means Autoclose ON
set this property false and try

if this is not the case check this link http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337268.aspx
as said, disconnect all the connection to the MOdel database and try
