Problems connecting to SQL Server after installation

I'm having problems -
but one basic problem is that SQL Server Agent SERVICE is having problems
logging on - it did fine when I first installed it, but the next time I
restarted the computer, boom - problems started.

I set it to start SQL Server and the Agent using the local System Account
(during setup)

But every time I try to restart the Agent - I get:
'The service did not start due to a logon failure"

SQL Server (2000) starts fine.

Any ideas?
Do I really need the SQL Server Agent Service started?
