Log on to the server as an administrator, open up SQL Server Configuration Manager and change/verify the username/password of the user that is running the sql server agent account, then restart the service. SQL Config Manager will make sure that the user is given the proper permissions. Alternatively set the user to the Local System Account which will have the proper permissions. It is however essential that you do this as an administrator.

Has it worked before?
Check the account that the agent is using (have you changed it or permissions?) in services and make sure it has lots of permissions - local system account might cause issues but should allow it to start as a test.

Has anythig happened to the server that might have caused this? A crash, installing new products, sevice packs, ...

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.
