Hello,
IHAC with the below  listed configuration on a brand new server.  Their current production  environment is running SQL Server 2000.  They have mounted a  robocopy of their existing database on the new server listed below.  I'm  not sure if this is a valid configuration.  I have seen references to SQL Server 2005 backward compatibility components so it makes  me wonder if this is  supported.
Upon starting SMsql it errors a few times as I  have shown in the attachment.  Has anyone had this same  experience?
Windows 2003R2 x64  SP2
SQL Server 2008  (SP1)

Legacy databases have to be migrated to properly work in SQL 2008, that's true both for 2000 & 2005 versions:
