msdb Unavailable

I work on a SQL 2000 Standard server that is part of our SBS package. Two days ago we ran a set of MS updates on the server and the residual symptom is that DTS packages, the Import or Export wizard all will not run. The Sql Server Agent service runs under the local system account, however that was true prior to the updates.

The error when attempting to run an import is that the OLEDB connection object is not available. The error occurs when trying to use the Access driver or a DSN. Further investigation indicates that msdb could not be contacted.

Does anyone have an idea as to what might cause this and a workaround?
Thanks,

misdeanI would perform an integrity check (DBCC CHECKDB) of the MSDE database, to se if it is corrupt. It might be because it's late night here, but that's the only reason I could think of now.|||I will give it a try. Somehow, I believe is is related to the MS updates applied the other day. I will run DBCC on it in the AM and post the results.

Thanks,

Keith
