This is normally down to a modified xp install using nlite or tinxp, where the standard database components have been stripped out.

This might help from the FAQ:

Q: I get "Error: The SELECT statement includes a reserved word or an argument name that is misspelled or missing, or the punctuation is incorrect."

A: Select Start->Run then paste in "regsvr32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\msjtes40.dll".

Then really your only other option is to install the OS again from a good source. Sorry.
