Okay, so I have a Windows XP Pro and am trying to install The Sims, but I keep getting this error on my computer.

I've been looking around for ages, and dont know how to get it to work. I've done http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324767 but the same error message pops up when i type "cmd" into the "run" program. So I can't do that.
I think it may have to do with my System32 folder. I have one, but it's hidden and can't access it unless I do that "show hidden folders" thing or whatever. But it wont even install then.
So yeah. I'm desperately in need of help. It's starting to tick me off.
I installed it in Feb of 2005 when I FIRST got my computer, and it installed fine then, but I uninstalled it a few months later because it was annoying me, and kept freezing everything. I still have a folder on my comp. labeled "Maxis" which is full of weird images, and the photo albums i took when I had it installed, but it wont let me delete it.
So does anyone know what to do? :S
