Enterprise Manager/Query Analyser hangs

Hi, hope somebody can help - we have found a strange problem at one of our
clients (they run SQL srv 2000 with SP4 on Windows Server 2000 with SP3) -
when they click the + on Databases on Enterprise manager, it hangs and also
hangs the server (applications accessing the DB timeout). We found that user
sa did not have access to any DBs! -- which we restored with sp_changedbowner
- but still hangs! Query analyser also hangs when opening object browser. All
other actions also very slow. Have also checked and switched off autoclose on
all DBs.
Could not yet determine how and exactly when this happened.
Any advice appreciated.

|||Thanx for your reply - the interesting thing is that user sa did have access
to all DBs when we last checked (in December) - something must have happened
to change that, but we do not know what. Have checked - nothing else running
on the SQL server. We are seriously considering uninstall and reinstall.

|||Managed to resolve this issue - seems like one of the dbs still had a
non-existing Windows NT user as dbowner. We detached all DBs, and reattached
them one by one, each time checking the owner and checking if DataBases
folder opens.
