Hmm, here is a trick I've learned over the years with XP.

If you are able to rename the Funcom folder, rename it to "Old Funcom" and then do a clean install.

The clean install should allow you to play the game.

As for deleting the old directory...

Reboot XP, at reboot press F8 and pick SAFE MODE. Once you are in your puter in safe mode try to delete the directory.

This tool has helped clear some files - its freeware. YMMV.
