    which account owns the database that you are trying to run sp_helpdb against. if it comes back as either 'unknown' or the login no longer exist.

    do this

    use [databasename]

    EXEC sp_changedbowner 'sa'

    and then run your sp_helpdb again.

    if any of the system databases have an invalid owner, you will need to change the owner to sa
