Can't use DAC in SQL2K5.

SQL2K5
No SP.
Im trying to test out Dedicated Administrator Connection for my first time
and getting an error message:
____________________________
Cannot connect to admin:Server\InstanceName.
Additional information:
DAC's are not supported. (ObjectExplorer)
_________________________
The Browser service is running.
Any ideas?
TIA, ChrisRHi ChrisR
Is it a SQL Express instance?
From BOL: To conserve resources, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition does not
listen on the DAC port unless started with a trace flag 7806.
Is it a remote instance?
DAC must be enabled for remote connections from the Configuration
Manager.

only when opening a query window.
