Enterprise Manager Hangs

Hi,
I'm using a Windows 2003 server with SQL Server 2000 with Service Pack 3a.
When I go to enterprise manager and click on (local) under server groups,
enterprise manager hangs and once that happens, all connections (query
analyzer or web SQL connect) fails. I have to end the tasks: mmc.exe and
sqlsvr.exe and then start the server again using the Service Manager. (If I
try to stop the server after ending mmc.exe, the status of the Server just
stays as "Stopping").
If I don't go to Enterprise Manager, everything works fine. Also, just in
case you're wondering, I DO NOT have tracing enabled.
I used ProcExp from www.sysinternals.com and after clicking on (local)
with enterprise manager, I get the following data:
2 new events:
\BaseNamedObjects\Crypt32LogOff
\$SERVER$MSSQLSERVER(2427)_C_READPOSTED
when i look at the threads, i get the following:
RPCRT4.DLLNdrRangeUnmarshall
msvcrt.dll!end thread
Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
(a) stop usng Enterprise Manager :-)
(b) see if a post-SP3 hotfix cures it. See http://www.aspfaq.com/2160 for a
list...

|||Thanks for the link and the advice... =)
Anyway, I have a few more details about the problem:
When I click on the (local) in the server groups in enterprise manager, I
hear a beep and the status bar msg is "Establishing connection to SQL Server
and Checking Windows Security".
Also, I reinstalled SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3a but it didn't help.
