Peter, You can also do quite a lot of stuff from inside the SQL management studio - just when you connect change the server type to reporting services - although I would think that if you can't get in via the web service URL you may not have any luck getting in there either.
I can't really tell you what's in there, as I've changed my local instance to forms based authentication at the moment and it's a little tricky to get in and do things. The other thing that I would try is going to the portal (where you can publish reports just with the .rdl file). So that would be (by default): http://localhost/reports vs (where I think you are looking at the moment) http://localhost/reportserver Hope that's a little more useful. Generally I haven't had any problems with RS like you are talking about, just install it and go (with local admin rights on my local account). Neil.
