SQL Server 2000 diagrams are empty

I installed Visual Studio 6 Service Pack 6
and now all my diagrams in SQL Server 2000 EM are empty.
--------------------------------------------------------
Problem solved.

Apprently VS SP6 has a bug.
I wouldn't suggest to install it at all.
You need to replace MDT2DF.DLL (version 2.0.0.9586)
in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSDesigners98

by
MDT2DF.DLL from SP5 (version 2.0.08958)

Here is what I did.
1. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/d...sp5/sp5_en.aspx
2.
Downloaded 'vs6sp54.exe'
3.
Run WinZip. Extract MSDesign/mdt2df.dll
4.
Replaced mdt2df.dll in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSDesigners98

Now SQL Server 2000 diagrams are back.
