First of all, I suggest you check what the error message is in the event log (event viewer can be found in administrative tools).
I'm going to assume you were an admin user, or tried as one.
When you installed, did you my any chance select 'just me' ?
If you did, your mounts will be user, not system. This prevents services like ssh and ioperm from working.
You can check by running mount.
