Sql Agent disabled

Question

Hi guys, I got a problem with SQL Agent. I got an instance PP3, the IT department gave me all the permission, so I can write db, delete db, Sp, Cubes and go on...everything but SQL Agent. That's mean that Agent in my Management has a little
circle white with a green border. But the button start, stop and restart are disabled. I went to the IT office, they started Agent using theirs Management ( and logging in as Administrator...) I got back in my office but my SQL is still not running. Now,
before to go and argeue with them, I'm wondering if there is something that need to be done in Configuration to allow me to use Agent ( I log using my windows account, everything is ok but agent and Integration Service by management).
Thanks guys for any helping.

About the configuration manager it's a little bit messy by the moment that I got an express instance on mpy pc ( a guy that tried to install me BIDS made a mess..). I'm going to address the problem, anyway it doesn't work even in express, the start is disabled
( as the stop)...
Are you saying you are using SQL server express I hope not because SQL Server agent is not present in express even though services are listed but its actually always disabled.
I found just the link to answer your question, what it says is since you are connecting to SQL server remotely and your account might not be administrator in machine where SQL server is installed in such case you will see this option disabled. If you log
on to local machine as administrator or local windows and connect to SQL server as admin you would be able to see Start/stop/ pause option enabled. I confirmed this with my surrorunding and it holds true.
