Enterprise Manager broken on SQL 2000, how to put back

I uninstalled Veritas Backup Exec 90 from my SQL 2000 server.
Now, none of my SQL "Snap Ins" (SQL Query, Enterprise Manager) work.
SQL appears to be running fine and my SQL applications are working fine too.
How can I put back my SQL Enterprise Manager and SQL Query Analyser?
If I reinstall SQL 2000 will that mess up my installed SQL applications?
Will SQL installer attempt to "repair" things with messing up my installed
databases?
My SQL applications/databases are a bear to reinstall and I don't want to if
I don't have to. Like I said, they are running fine.
Greatful for any help.
RonYou can try to reinstall the SQL Server service pack to start with...

that was a mistake (of sorts). When the server came back up, none of the SQL
applications were working (although the SQL service had started).
Tried to reinstall SP3 as suggested (thank you) but niether windows
authentication nor the sa account would work.
So, out of desperation I reinstalled Veritas Backupexec 91 for servers. I
rebooted the machine and bingo, the SQL apps could access the SQL databases
again!
But SQL is still broken, in that Enterprise Manager and SQL query will not
run.
I am almost to the point where I am going to try reinstalling SQL.
Will it recognize my existing SQL databases or will I have to reinstall
everything?
The Win 2003 server itself is fine, it's just that SQL is "not all there" it
seems.
