Your Path Statement is probably screwed up, and lacking the normal
entries for WinXP's system folders. Therefoe, WinXP doesn't know how to
find the applications.

It should look something like this:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem

To edit the Path, right-click My Computer > Properties > Advanced >
Environmental Variables. In the System Variables windows, highlight
"Path" and click the <Edit> button.
