Enterprise manager query timeout

When I check the server's query timeout on the Server properties /
Connections tab in enterprise manager, it is set to 600 seconds.
Yet when I run a complicated query, it times out after 40 seconds.
The same query takes about a minute in OSQL, and succeeds there.
Is there an additional time-out that EM imposes, and can it be changed?

I believe this is a known issue. You should use Query Analyzer for all
your querying rather than going through SQL EM. This problem may have
been addressed in the recent SQL Server service pack (not sure). What SP
are you running on the client?

Still SP3 on server and client.
I haven't downloaded SP4 yet because it looked like the changes are mostly
intended for 64 bit systems, I decided to wait until I get it through MSDN.
I'll take your advice and use Query Analyzer.

for remote server queries. From what I understand your running a local
query.
The problem is that EM as a client application has it's own timeout
configuration setting which I admit is rather short. Query Analyzer on
the other hand by default waits as long as it needs, so you won't get
any timeout.

I found the setting, Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Connection settings,
the default is 0 = infinite (says online help).
Trying to override it (I set it to 600 seconds) makes no difference.
I upgraded to SP4, and it's still the same
