on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)

3050? That's a very odd version!

I don't remember under which build number SP2 was originally released as,
but the one you can download now is 3042. Shortly after the release of
SP2 yet a serious bug with maintenance plans were uncovered, and they
released a so called GDR with build number 3054.

Thus, most people running SQL 2005 SP2 runs 3042 or 3054. Or they run
one the nine Cumultative Updates that have been released. The CU:s are
not downloadable; you have to register for them, and then they will
send it to you. As the KB articles for the CUs includes the general
caveat that they are only intended to fix a particular problem, I cannot
really recommend that you try one of them.

Instead I would suggest that you install build 3073, which includes two
security fixes, of which one appears to relatively critical. You can
find information on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/954606, and from
there you should be able to find a download.

I don't know if your odd build number is related to your problems with
the Config Manager and funny things you see in SSMS, but since you ought to
install that security fix anyway, I think it's worth to see id it helps.

Oh, also check the version of the tools, so that you don't happen to
run the RTM or SP1 version of them.
