HELP!...VB.NET killed SQL Server

Hi,
Yesterday I installed VB.NET on my machine. I had been runnng SQL Server
2000. After the install SQL Server will not run. SQLAgent fails with the
error "1068: The dependency service or group failed to start". When I try to
start MSSQL service I get a message it started then stopped because it may
not have anything to do.
I was planning to install SP3 of SQL Server 2000, so I tried that, but it
fails to install because (it seems) it needs SQL Server to be running.
Any ideas? Right now I desperately need SQL Server but not VB. So, I
guess my next move is to un-install VB.NET, which is going to be a royal
pain, and that may not even work because such a big install cannot be truly
uninstalled. After that I would fall back to an OS restore point.
Help, please!

Can you post the SQL Server errorlog file? Assuming it is only a few rows, of course...

|||Thanks! I ran the SQL Server setup program with the option "Rebuild
Registry" and now it seems fine. Thanks again!
