Question : SQL Server 2005 Windows 7 64bit

Hi,
I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise edition, not knowing which version- 32 bit or 64 bit it was. It installed successfully. When tried to open the sql server in windows authentication mode it showed me error of configuring it in remote connection, for which i had to enable it from Surface Area Configuration
I opened that and clicked Surface Area Configuration for Service and connections. It shows me the error  as attached in image file SQL-Surface-Area-Error.png

Steps that i have taken to handle this error before posting the question is

A. Installed Native Client (to which it says that is not proper version to install on this machine which i think that SQL i  have installed is 332 bit)

B. Run & Install SQL Server 2005 SP3

C.  Search for SQL Server 2005 64 bit (which i couldn't get it from anywhere)

Please help.. its urgent

thanks
