I believe the error you are getting is pretty self explanatory !

You have not specified which version SQL server you are trying to connect, but you have got a higher version database (SQL 2008) and you are trying to connect it using old SSMS which is not allowed.

You need to download/install newer SSMS from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365247.aspx[^]

Hope that helps

As far as I know, it can co-exist. Older database works with SSMS 2008 so even if you un-install, you should be fine. Don't take my word though, Check the details at the link provided - Milind
