I would try reinstalling the Client Tools from the SQL Server install disk. That will reinstall Enterprise Manager, Books on Line, Query Analyzer......

If that doesn't work (and it didn't for me), check the SQL Server Enterprise Manager.MSC. I had to rename mine when I was at a different company (don't remember what I renamed it to exactly. I think I just shortened it to one word) and it worked.

If that doesn't work, then head to this discussion and see if .dll unregistration and re-registration helps.

Hope that helps!
