Cannot edit maintenance plans post SP2

I have some maintenance plans written for SQL Server 2005 SP1. After we
upgraded to SP2 I can no longer edit them. If I select the Maintneance Plans
node in Object Explorer and double click on any plan I get "Microsoft SQL
Server Management Studio is unable to load this document: One or more error
occured."
The popup message box says "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: component
(System.Design)"
Details are:"
Program Location:

System.ComponentModel.Design.DesignerHost.System.ComponentModel.Design.IDesi
gnerHost.GetDesigner(IComponent component)

signer(String connectionString, Object connection, String objectUrn)
at
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.DatabaseMaintenance.MaintDesignerMenuHandler.
Invoke()"
I saw one post that sugget there is a fix that ought to be in cumulative
update package 4, but I can't see any items in that which match this problem
.
The maintenance plans appear to run when called by the SQl Agent Jobs they
were initially set up with. However, I am calling one of them from another
Job and this has started throwing this error since SP2:
"Error: 2007-11-04 18:00:01.81 Code: 0xC0024104 Source: Reporting
Task for subplan-{03E683E8-5A40-4697-BF2F-E93EBA6E96E7} Descriptio
n: The
Execute method on the task returned error code 0x80131904 (Conversion failed
when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.). The Execute
method must succeed<c/> and indicate the result using an "out" parameter.
End Error"
but when I went to look at the plan, I couldn't edit it!
Any advice on how to edit the maintenance plans or fix the second error
would be great.
Thanks,
CharlesDid you install sp2 for the clients components (SSMS) on the machine where y
ou try to edit the plan?
