You could always rebuild your system databases. Read about rebuildm.exe. Note that this will scratch
all info in them, so be prepared to re-create your logins, linked servers, jobs, alerts and all that
jazz. After your rebuild, you can sp_attach_db your user databases or RESTORE then (note that before
this, you should of course detach or BACKUP the databases).
