MMC cannot open the file C:\Program. [Enterprise Error!!]

Question

I installed SQL 2000 and Service Manager Works but when i open Enterprise Manager i get this error:

---------------------------
Microsoft Management Console
---------------------------
MMC cannot open the file C:\Program.

This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

My Folder is Located C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server

And i also Have The C:\Program

I can open it and it Looks just Like Enterprise manager but Whenever i Open The ACTUAL Enterprise Manager it gives me the Error Above.

My OS is Windows XP Service Pack 3

Answer 2

Well, I've Downloaded them and installed and Yet nothing. Got the same error.

It's all becuase of that

 ---------------------------
Microsoft Management Console
---------------------------
MMC cannot open the file C:\Program .

This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

There must be something i can do like Add a file somewhere or Rename or Allow something.

Any other ideas.

I know i installed correctly.

SQLEVAL --> C:\SQLEVAL -->AutoRun.exe --> C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server

Help?
