I take a look of above thread, but I still have a problem because I can't just leave window "Service Account" - I have error
"The specified credentials that were provided for the SQL Server service are not valid. To continue, provide a valid account and password for the SQL Server service"
I can't change SQL Server Browser service account NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE to another.

Follow the following steps to resolve the issue;
1- click on SQL server Database Engine below the service and when it turns blue click on the tab use the same account for all the SQL Server Services.
2- A user account and password window will appear, then click on the arrow appeared in the user account it will display you the different option, you select the option NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.
3- Left the password text box empty and press ok.
Hope your problem will resolve....
