Enterprise Mgr Error

Good Day
SQL 2000 - just started recieving the following when loading Enterprise
Manager directly on the server console (from a workstation is fine)
'Connection to application failed. Ensure that no program modules have
been deleted'
I tried re-installing both OS & SQL service packs to see if a DLL or
something was missing - but am still receiving the error - any ideas ?
Thanks!
Hi
Can you open MMC and other add-ins without getting this error?
Can you open SQL Server Enterprise Manager.msc from within MMC?

Good Point & thanks -
MMC.exe runs OK - I added various snapins - all worked successfully -
tried to add enterprise manager.msc - it blows withthe same error
Thanks

You don't say what service pack you are on!
But you could try renaming the MMC and loading the renamed file (which seems
to sometimes work!), renaming the MMC file and installing a service pack, or
copy the MMC from another machine that is on the same fix level.

SQL is SP4 -
I had re-applied that service pack -
But I will retry after renaming the enterprise manager.msc file
Thanks!

Entering maintenance mode through Enterprise Manager?

Is there a way of entering maintenance mode ("-m") through Enterprise
Manager (2000), rather than running sqlservr.exe directly?
Thanks!You can add it as a start up parameter (right-click your server, startup parameters), these are
stored in the registry. But as this is a one-time, it is easier to use Windows Services applet, and
add the parameter there.
