I've installed the SQl Server 2008 Reporting services on my PC but when I try to access the Report Manager URL
(http://localhost/Reports)
I first get prompted to log on, and then after several attempts I end up at a blank screen.
I don't know if it is permissions, or even something as basic as the set up is not complete.
The best link I've found so far has been this page:
http://www.gotknowhow.com/articles/reportserver-permissions-granted-are-insufficient-for-performing-this-operation-rsaccessdenied
and I've followed the steps as far as step 4. I don't get re-directed to
http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx.
Typing the URL in manually gives a blank page in IE, but I get an xml parsing error with Firefox.
Any advice and help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Some additional information. When using Business Intelligence Design Studio I can deploy data sources and reports and the output window reports a success.
More info:
I log onto my machine as an Administrator.
I've installed MS Sql Server 2008 RS (Standard)
I've hit a dead end with this. Can't get any further. Nearly everything I've seen suggests the problem is to do with not being an administrator but I am.

Not all administrators are created equal. I've recently got a new PC and set up an 'administrator' account.
This article explains what I needed to do to enable the real 'admin'. Once he was there, my previous account that apparently was an 'administrator' reverted to being an standard user, and the conundrum was solved.

The comment that really helped me was the one by 'dana_working'. I've re-produced it in full in case the article is deleted.
