Changing the SQL Server Agent ID

Hello,
We have are using SQL 2000 on a 2003 server. We have one
instance of 2000 up to service pack 3a.
We need to change the domain user id of the SQL Server
Agent. We changed it through the Services section of
Windows 2003. Then starting up it reports 'Access is
deniged'
The domain userid we are change it to is already an
administrator on the server, and is used on a different
server, and I am logged on as a local administrator.
Can anyone point the way ?
Thanks
Peterit's recommended to change it using enterprise manager instead of in the
services window. you may need to search for a kb article about how to
manually change the account associated with the sqlagent. there's
registry settings, file permissions, etc that need to change.
