Check the start up account that you are using for SQL Agent.
Make sure it has a SQL Server login and appropriate
permissions. You may also want to try having it start using
Local System and see if SQL Agent starts up correctly under
that account. Additionally, make sure you are configuring
the start up account and password using Enterprise Manager
rather than the services applet. If you configure the start
up accounts via Enterprise Manager, the permissions and
rights needed for the accounts will be setup correctly.
In terms of the second error with Query Analyzer, it depends
on what the message is that you are getting with that error.
The error 18456 usually has a message along the lines of
"Login failed for user <whatever user> " - often followed
by more text which will lead you to the problem. If the
server is using Windows Authentication only, then your
Windows login needs access to SQL Server. If you are using
mixed authentication, then you should check the login and
password you are using to connect to SQL Server.
