Under the system variables box you should have the setting “PATH” which should contain the following variable value ‘%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%’ 

It will also contain other variables depending on which programs you have installed. You should also have the setting “PATHEXT” which should contain .COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.PSC1

You should also check that the setting “windir” is set to your Windows directory.
