Error 2812: Could not find stored procedure and

Help! When we try to to delete a test publication on our sql server
2000 Developer Edition SP3a it returns an Error 2812: "Could not find
stored procedure"
What's weird is that we configured "Publishing, Subscribers and
Distribution" last night and after some tries we got thru the wixard
and we were able to set up a push subscription to a test database.
Now when we try to set up a new publication SQL server returns a "
server is not enabled as a Publisher on distibutor server" To enable
run "Publishing, Subscribers and Distribution and clich the Publishers
tab". When we do that we can only create a Distributor. Continuing on
that we get a new error: "21045 Cannot uninstall the Distributor
because there are databases enabled for publishing or merge
publishing". There is no way as far as we can see to disconnect any
enabled databases.
We feel like we're walking in circles. Help is greatly appreciated.
Martin,
try running these commands on each database then hopefully you'll be able to
uninstall the distributor and restart.

exec sp_dboption 'yourdb','published',false
exec sp_dboption 'yourdb','merge publish',false
|||Thanks Paul, I was just about to write that I solved the problem by
uninstalling SQL and reinstalling. It looks like THAT did the trick.
No problems so far.
