pubs in Desktop Version of SQL2ksp3

I'm using VS and I've been trying to do the examples on
the tutorial. As topic title suggested, I'm using a
desktop version of the SQL2k service pack 3. However, I
can't seem to make a connection to the pubs database. The
only database I get are master, model, msdb and tempdb.
What exactly should I do to get this working?
Thanks in advance. ^_^

Pubs and Northwind sample databases are not present in the MSDE packages, in
order to limit thery deployment size...
