New at this and could use some help

I want to run on the local machine.
Trying to turn on Shared Memory.

1.
Instructions to enable a server network protocol are:
In SQL Server Configuration Manager, in the console pane, expand SQL Server
Network Configuration.
In the console pane, click Protocols for <instance name>

But when I do it there is nothing in the console pane.

Is this relevant:
The Installed SQL Server features discovery report list:
Instance: MSSQLSERVER
Instance name: MSAS10.MSSQLSERVER
Is there something I was supposed to do first?
Any suggestion as to how to proceed?


2.
At various time I was asked if I want to include 2005 servers. I declined.
Is this happening because I had installed 2005 previously, but never used
it.
I uninstalled it prior to installing 2008.
Can I get rid of them if I don't need them?
Or should I include them?
Did they come with 2008?

Thanks in advance

Firstly, a newsgroup thread with the subject of "New at this and could use
some help" is meaningless - please give your threads meaningful subjects
which relate to the actual question...

Secondly, you're in the wrong newsgroup - this one is for ASP.NET. For SQL
Server questions, please post to one of the SQL Server newsgroups, maybe
microsoft.public.sqlserver.server or microsoft.public.sqlserver.setup

microsoft.public.sqlserver.server.
