After installing Reporting Services 2008 on Windows 7, you may encounter blank page when accessing to the Report Manager:
Typical display of a rightless user despite the fact that you are local admin on your machine…an access to the ReportServer URL will confirm it.
A slight manipulation is necessary to retablish rights correctly:
- Open Internet Explorer with the “Run As Administrator” mode.
- Go to the Report Manager, this time display should be normal.
- Give necessary rights to you local user through the “Properties -> Security” tab and “Site Parameteres -> Security” link.

Generaly, installing AJAX extensions will resolve it:
