I have installed SQL Server 2008R2 on my Windows7 laptop successfully. However, when I open the configuration manager, the "SQL Server Services" entry shows an error message saying "The remote procedure call failed 800706be".
The full XML error is here:-

The result of this is that the MSSQLSERVER instance does not display in Management Studio, so I am unable to create a new database there.
