For XP:
Right click on the start menu, choose "Properties". Click the "Customize" button. If you're using the Classic Start Menu, make sure "Display Run" is checked. If you're using the XP start menu, go to the "Advanced" tab, and make sure "Run Command" (it's near the bottom) is checked.

Is this your own computer or is this someone else's?
It sounds like the system might be locked down.
If its your computer and you didn't change anything that might have caused this then you have another problem.

You could try this
Do a search for gpedit.msc, when you get that click on it and go to:
userconfig | administrative templates | start menu and taskbar
then dclick on remove run menu from the start menu and see if that option is disabled or enabled.
Also are you loged on in an admin account?

There are some excellent third party tools that will aid in configuring options like this. A personal favorite of mine for Xp is "Advanced tweek Xp" There are some great and simple to use features in it. For a moderate skilled user, there are some that you may not even realize are options. One of the better advantages is if you don't like what youi did...it's just as easy to reverse your changes.
