Command Prompt acting up

damnyanks · 2006-01-02 18:52:59

Howdy, Been re-installing java and what not. Anyways now whenever I go into command prompt anything thats in the System32 dir doesn't work unless I put the full path in (I.E Ping, Java, Javac etc.) Anyone any idea why ? What enviromental variable should I be looking for ?

Can also (and more commonly) be given as "...;%SystemRoot%\system32;...", without the drive

or %windir%\system32 to save a wee bit of typing (systemroot is more correct)

might as well see what %comspec% is to be on the safe side.
