| 415158 | 2005-12-22 20:55:00 | When I type something into the Command Prompt window in XP eg. ipconfig it comes up with an error message saying something like command can't be found. Now when I go to the command prompt in the system 32 folder and type ipconfig there it works. Somehow the link to command prompt in accessories has broken. How do I fix this. The command prompt in asseccories use to work. Trevor :) |

| 415159 | 2005-12-22 21:11:00 | Most likely the PATH environment variable is messed up. Try this from the command prompt: "Set P" (no quotes) The PATH should look like this (an example, yours will vary): Path=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS If not, you fix it as follows Right click My computer Properties (*NOT* manage) "Advance" tab "Environment Variables" button Then edit the Path variable. You may want to Edit.Copy this to notepad to back it up, since screwing it up can cause a host of problems. Cheers |

| 415160 | 2005-12-23 05:38:00 | Thanks checked all that out and everything looks in order. The actual message I get is. ipconfig is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Trevor :) |
