Cannot Edit Group Policies - Windows Server 2003 R2

Question

Hello, everyone.
 I have a server running Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition Service Pack 2 32-bit. Group policies were working fine until sometime last week. Now, whenever I would launch GPMC, I would get an error message that said "Windows cannot find gpedit.msc.
Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again.' Then, after I click OK, I would get another error message that said "Failed to start the group policy snap-in. The gpedit.msc file may be missing, files with the .msc extension may not be associated
with mmc.exe, or you may not have the appropriate rights."
I removed GPMC to see if that would work, but I still get the same error messages when I try to edit group policies through ADUC.  I also tried de-registering and re-registering the gpedit .dll files but I did not have any luck.
Is there anything else I can try? I do not have any group policies that I need to deploy at the moment, but I would like to get this fixed as soon as possible.

So you verified that gpedit.msc exists and that it can be launched
through "run"?

How did you do that exactly?
