Answer : SQL SERVER 2000 with Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2

cs97jim3,

Where exactly in that link does it address this problem?

I suspect you mean to say he should apply the latest service pack, in part because SQL 2000 is NOT SUPPORTED on Server 2003 without Service Pack 3 or later.  But your comment doesn't say that and I didn't see any specific references to Server 2003 in the link.

furqan_trakker,

Make sure you have AT LEAST Service Pack 3 installed - as I mention above, SQL 2003 is not supported on 2003 without Service Pack 3 or later.
