If you installed SQL Server 2000, then you now have two instances: MSDE and
SQL Server 2000. I am guessing the error message is coming from the MSDE
instance.

Use Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer locally to detach your database(s)
from MSDE, then attach them to SQL Server 2000. Make sure to update your
client applications to point to the correct instance.
