Trying to set up a SQL Server Agent Account and I hit a wall....



I'm trying to set up a SQL Server Agent account and I just hit a wall. I was
following these instructions.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187901.aspx

and

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190703.aspx

When I was creating the SQL Sever Agent Proxy it started to error out and
honestly I didn't keep the error thinking that whatever it was, it would
reverse what I was doing. Then I got some kooky error message that the SQL
Server Agent proxy account was already set up, and so I basically "OK'd" out
of that thinking I would simply look at the proxyies to see if it was there
already. Now I can't look at any of the proxies. When I do I get this LONG
error message.. (See below)

Our database is on SQL Server 2005, however it is set to compatibility mode
80, its a thorn in my side, but a reality I am stuck with. What I need to do
though is run SSIS on the same server and setting up the security to do that
has led me to this point. If I only need the compatability on the MSDB
database I may be able to do that, but the application that I am suporting
needs its databases to be in 2000 mode.

So how do I resolve this error? The darn databases are in 2000 and I can't
exactly turn on 2005 everywhere. is there one of the system databases I can
do this with to resolve this error? Can I get SSIS running with a SQL Server
Agent without 2005 compatability?

Any help would be appreciated.
