Add New Report Wizard fails

I'm using the Developer version with SP1 and have had to reinstall because
the localhost Reports DBs were lost and there's no obvious way to get just
two empty DB's created...
So, after install, I can edit and deploy to local and Production. BUT: When
I use the "Add New Report" wizard i get a showstopper! I can choose the data
source, key in a simple "SELECT * FROM dbo.ItemType" (for example) as the
query, select "Tabular" style, then move all fields to the "Details" section.
When I click "Next", I get the following error:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server

This wizard will close because it encountered the following error:

I tried clicking the links from the "Send Message Text As E-mail" option on
the "Help" button's drop-down, but the response is a 404 - not found (pretty
message but that's the error code).
I did a Web Search (MSN Search) for keywords in the message but came up empty.
No forum entry with the keywords.
I've run the install again, rebooted, etc, etc, but the error persists...
Clues? Solutions? Please...Report Designer version# is:
Microsoft SQL Server Report Designer
Version 8.00.743.00
Is this SP1? If not, that may be the problem...

> Clues? Solutions? Please...|||Report Designer version#:
Microsoft SQL Server Report Designer
Version 8.00.743.00
Is this SP1? If not, perhaps that's my issue?|||I found the SP1 download and applied it - Version 8.00.878.00
However, I still get the original bomb!
Help, please, again...
