Start button --> RUN --> winver --> OK...

What does the picture at the top of the window that opens say and what does
the line beginning with "Version 5.1" say (in the parenthesis.)

Presuming winver, as suggested by Shenan, shows you running XP Pro then...
* You can reregister Remote Desktop by running the following command from a
command prompt. Make sure you have administrator privileges. Reboot the PC
after doing this...

regsvr32 remotepg.dll

* A fix of last resort is a "Repair Reinstall" of the OS. Backup any
critical data just in case. Note the warnings on the page...
