NC Beach Bum,

As per http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=329329, the standard
process is to install SQL Server onto Windows 2003 and then patch it up to
SP3 or higher. I'd therefore try reinstalling the service packs up to SP3
and repost if this doesn't help.

HTH,
Katherine

Win 2003 both of our SQL Server applications are behaving very badly. The
SQL applications are either giving us errors or unable to run at all.
Veritas Backup Exec is unablel to browse the SQL Database and after working
with them for several hours they are stumped.

this mess? Or is the best fix going to be an all night server format and
reinstall of Windows 2003, SQL 2000, and all of the applications?
