mssql msg 945 level 14 state 2

Hi!
I moved two databases over from our old server MSSQL 2005 Express to our new server MSSQL 2008 Express. I have not been able to access these two databases since. Unfortunately, it looks like MSSQL 2008 Express does not come with SQL studio management so I am left with SQLCMD. I tried using use databases_name and go and got the following error...msg 945 level 14 state 2    database can not be opened due to inaccessible or insufficient memory. I am sure it is not a memory issue. So any ideas how to fix this using SQLCMD?
TIA

acperkins,
The installation errors out saying that I have to select one or more features.
The feature is selected as shown by the attached image and yet it will not let me past this screen.

I am afraid I have no idea.  I have never used any Express Edition.
choose all options.
tigin44,
I tried select all and it still gives the same error. That I need to select a feature. I guess this is what keeps M$ in business.

tigin44,
I had to install advanced tools first, but I still am getting the same error when I try to access the databases with SSMS.
