error 1722 when trying to start SQLServerAgent service

Hello all,

I have a nightly job which runs under the SQLServerAgent service on my
SQLServer2000 database. Someone mentioned that the jobs did not run
last night, so I logged in to the server to see why, and I noticed that
the SQLServerAgent service was not running, which seemed like something
that would prevent jobs under it from being executed.

However, when I try to right-click/Start the SQL Server Agent i get the
following error:

An error 1722 - (The RPC server is unavailable) occurred while
performing this service operation on the SQLServerAgent service.

But that's all it says. I've looked in the SQL Server Agent logs, as
well as the Windows Event View application logs, and no further
information is provided in either location.

Can anyone tell me what kinds of things might cause this error? I'm not
even sure where to begin looking.

Thanks

Jason
