Enterprise Manager Won't Start

All of a sudden, whenever I try to start the SQL Server
Enterprise Manager, I get the following error:
MMC cannot open the file C:\Program File\...\SQL Server
Enterprise Manager.MSC.
This may be because the file does not exist, is not an
MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC.
This may also be because you do not have sufficient
access rights to the file.
I've uninstalled and re-installed SQL Server at least
four times now. I still get the same error. What is
going on? The file exists. I can see it. Please, I
need some insight on this. Help!Does the account SQL Server is using have rights to the
directory? that would be my first guess

Try reapplying the latest SQL Server 2000 service pack. If that doesn't
work try copying SQLEM.MSC from the SQL Server CD (remember to rename it
to Enterprise Manager.msc on your machine).

1. Verified all of the file permissions.
2. Installed SP3a.
3. Copied the SQLEM.MSC file, renamed it.
I still get the same error.
Any other possibilities?

Well, it sounds like a permissions issue to me. What did you change? ;-)
Can you log on as local administrator and open EM?
