Answer 1

I had also same problem.

Open your site in Internet Explorer and then click on "Dashboard Designer". It will open.
NOTE: Try on machine where you SharePoint server is installed.

Answer 2

My first instinct whenever I see that type of error is that you don't have the site set as trusted. Adding the site to the 'Intranet' zone will allow for automatic logins, and usually handle client applications like Dashboard designer also.
