Hi,
PuTTY doesn't natively support the private key format (.pem) generated by Amazon EC2. You must convert your private key into a .ppk file before you can connect to your instance using PuTTY. Use the PuTTYgen tool for this conversion.

Or you can use Linux, and never use Putty anymore, just straight SSH.

Can you share the AMI ID you used? I'd like to try to reproduce this.
For PuTTY, I always use PPK. Can you try this?
