Display estimated execution plan bug

Hello. I'm using SQL2000, and I have a problem.
Each time I try to display estimated execution plan in Query Analyzer, the
graphical plan shows optimization costs 0%, 100%, or 600%, and the cost is
shown only for the first step. I installed sp4, but that didn't change
anything. I know I can use showplan_all, but it's better to have a graphical
display. I saw on Microsoft's web pages that this is a bug
(http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...Ben-us%3B274643), but
they are saying that it comes in some cases and I get it all the time.
Please help.

rator is . and not , ?
