when I open a DTS package (or create a new one) I get the error:
DTS Designer error
The system cannot find the file specified

then the package opens, but there are no objects in the "tasks" pane (the
"connection" pane looks ok). All the task objects in the package show up
though (and can be edited too) but no new ones can be added (since also under
the Task menu, only the items "Register custom task..." and "Unregister
custom task..." exist).

So the question is: which dlls are the missing tasks so that to register
them back?
Also, any ideas why they dissapeared?

It's generally from having a mix of different service pack
levels. See the following article:

It didnt work. I checked both
http://www.sqldts.com/default.aspx?223 and the related link
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=274716
but they all seem to refer to SQL Server 7.0 issues.
I have SQL 2000 SP4 (both on the server and the client tools in my pc) and
the packages were created with this version.

Try opening the packages from another box. If you can open
them fine on other boxes then it's specific to that box. You
could first try reregistering dtsui.dll. Other than that,
they rest are listed in the following:

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that: The problem is ONLY on my pc. When I open
the packages from the Enterprise Manager on the server, or any other pc with
the client tools, everything is ok.

The dlls listed in the link (and also the ones in the redistr.txt of SP4)
are not the missing tools of the DTS Designer, they seem to only contain
supporting code to run DTS packages from other applications (including the EM
itself). I register them, but nothing changes on the interface.

I have also re-installed the client tools and re-applied SP4, but still
nothing.
