There is something wrong with my installation of SQL Server that I can’t put

There is something wrong with my installation of SQL Server that I can’t put my finger on, which is why the vague title of this post.

As an example, I was trying to open an MDF file that is part of an example solution from MSDN for DataGrid templates, and got the following error.

enter image description here

The info about my install from SQL Server Management Studio is below.

Can someone help me solve the problem I’m having opening the MDF file? Is this a symptom of my install in general, as I suspect? If so, can you suggest how to resolve the install?

Cheers,
Berryl

    Your server is version 612 which is actually SQL Server 2005 (SELECT @@VERSION to verify this) and the file your attaching is 622 which is SQL Server 2008, you cannot attach an mdf sourced from a newer version of SQL server.
