Tony, I have to agree with Erland.  The 2008 version of SSMS has several issues including sometimes failing to connect using a valid username/password combination.  Apply at least SP1 to get past that.

But depending on where your Registration file came from you may have to recreate the entries manually since it is possible the problem is how the file was written.
