Very strange. I have both the SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 tools on my machine,
and they co-exist very well.
I also find it difficult that QA or EM would wreak something havoc for
Mgmt Studio, as QA and EM are native code, and Mgmt Studio is a .Net
application.
I think Jim's suggestion of installing SP1 SQL 2005 is a good idea.
Not because that SP1 may have a fix as such to the problem, but there
is a good chance that it will repair whatever that is broken.
