Error in SQL startup

Hi guys,

I have an SQL Server 2000 installed on a Windows server 2003. Yesterday, i restart my server and before login to the server the following message poped-up:

"Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with (unable to load SQLBOOT.DLL). Please uninstall, then re-run setup to correct this problem"

Any ideas what this error is or why occurred
Any help will be appreciated.

    generally this might be the log file path. C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG . Open the ERRORLOG file and paste the contents here

    There are no errors in the event viewer regarding the error i tild you above. There is only the 19012 error which has to do something with the TCP port.

    Any other ideas what this error should be

    Please post the sql log here. It would help us help you pinpoint the problem. The sqlboot error simply means the service doesn't get all the resources it needs to start up. A re-install typically will fix this.
