Everytime I try to open up SSMS, I get this error:
"Values cannot be null. Parameter Name: ViewInfo"
when I press ok to login, It doesn't show me the database and system dbs aren't expandable. Need some help.

Have you tried running SSMS as an administrator? If you right click on the SSMS icon you should get a pop menu with one of the options being run as administrator.

It is working but why is it that it worked when I tried running it as an administrator?

Has to be a permissions issue on the system you are using. Not something I can really tell you why.

It sounds like your regular (no-sysadmin) login may have had access removed from it's default database or some DENY operation was used to remove permissions to something basic like listing databases. Like maybe [sales] was the default, and then [sales] database was dropped. Or perhaps something like this was done:

DENY VIEW ANY DATABASE to [yourlogin];
