Damn Pesky ' RED X'

How...Why...
Running SQL 2000 SP3 & Win 2000 Adv Srv.
I cannot get rid of the Red X that appears in my replication monitor.
I have run 'sp_MSload_replication_status' to no avail.
HELP!!!
How can I get rid of this?
The X appears on the Replication
Monitor->Publishers->servername->Publication, but there is no problem
with the Snapshot, log Reader or the Distribution Agent.
The X appears on the Replication Monitor->Agents->Distribution Agents
folder, but there is no errors with any of the distribution agents.
My SQL servers get restarted nightly, but the servers are not
restarted. Manually restarting the SQL server do not fix this either.
Any help will be appreciated.

Try restarting the sql server service if all else fails. Usually it results
from an out-of-date error in tempdb (assuming it is not a genuine error .

Customizing the Job Activity Monitor

Hey, all!
There is a lot of useful info in the various windows within SSMS. However, I
don't personally want to see all the columns and/or data in, say, the Job
Activity Monitor. Is there any way to customize the view by removing columns?
And, is there any way to get my column order and filters to "stick" once I close
SSMS? Thanks for your help.You can't really customize it, no. But the information it uses comes from
very simple queries against catalog views and DMVs in msdb (you can just set
up profiler to trace when you launch the activity monitor, and it will show
you the queries). You could probably build your own little win form GUI
pretty easily, with the functionality you want, using VB.Net or C#.
