Enterprise Mgr SQL 2000 doesn't list databases

I have something strange with my Enterprise Manager (SQL 2000). When in my
local server i cannot see my databases. The list is empty. If I go to Query
Analyzer on the same box, I can see all of them. Also in EM, under the
Management folder there is nothing to view. Any ideas what has happened?
Thanks in advance.Does the registration in Enterprise manager use the same login as the one you
use in Query Analyzer? Does the user you login with to create your
registration have access to all of the tables and the management folder?

When I try to create a new database through EM I get an arithmetic overflow
error. Do I have something corrupt in the master database? If I try a
'select * from sysdatabases' in the master database I get a row count and an
arithmetic overflow errror. See below.
"(21 row(s) affected)
Server: Msg 220, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Arithmetic overflow error for data type smallint, value = 32789."
This is on a test SQL box, and I am not sure when the problem started. If I
cannot restore the master db from backup is there any way to repair it?
Thanks.

Do you have any databases currently "offline"? Do you also get the
error if you run:
SELECT * FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases
but not if you do:
SELECT dbid, name FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases
?

I do not get the arithmetic overflow error if I just select the dbid and the
name.

Bring those databases online, then see if your problem goes away. Take
them offline again, and see if it continues to work after that. I
recall some obscure issue where the "version" column in the master
database gets corrupted when a database is taken offline. I don't
recall if this was fixed in a service pack or not.

Thank you for your help.
