SQL Server 2000, Requesting database properties lock up enterprise manager

Hello,

We have MS SQL Server 2000 and recently we found out that right
clicking on a database and selecting properties would lock up the
enterprise manager. We have 80 Databases 4 GB Memory 2 Xeon 3.0 GHz
CPUs

SQL Server Runs just fine, query results are timely. It's just the
properties screen for databases that's concerning me.

Any ideas why that's happening and how I could resolve it?

Thanks
