You should type it in as one word, with no spaces :

ipconfig

C:\Windows>ipconfig

Windows IP Configuration


Wireless LAN adapter Local Area Connection* 11:

Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :

If that or other commands fail, take a screenshot of it and upload it, it will help people to get you on the right track

Do any commands work? DIR, ROBOCOPY, MKDIR etc...

Type "echo" and see if "C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32;" is in your path. If they aren't, add them.

Computer --> System Properties --> Advanced System Settings --> Advanced tab --> Environment variables button --> System environment variables.

Make sure to end each entry in your path with a semicolon.
