Which exact version of SQL Server do you have? For Windows 2003,
SQL Server RTM, SP1 and SP2 are not supported. Make sure that you have
installed SP3 or SP4.

If this does not resolve the issue, please post the beginning of the
SQL Server errorlog, down to the line "SQL Server is ready for client
connections". You find this log in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG, assuming a standard install.
