Can not start server after setting open objects to 2147483647

SQL Server 2000 Enterprise installed on Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
I set open objects to 2147483647 for research purpose. After I did it, I can
not start the server any more, nor can I set open objects to a smaller value
.
The error message I got was:
[Shared Memory]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
[Shared Memory]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).
What should I do to be able to start the server again?
Thank you,
TammyTry starting the server using the -f option, then change this value back to
0.
