    Alright, I found a solution (because I put myself in the same situation as you by messing up my registry deleting and adding the Path String Value, so I now think your problem was registry related). Go to Control Panel -> User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Accounts -> Change my environment variables. Click New...
    Variable Name: Path
    Variable Value: %SYSTEMROOT%\System32
    Click OK.
    Restart your command prompt. Type ipconfig. Fixed?

    Alright, go back through the registry by clicking Computer at the very top. There should be at least three places where Path exists. You can find them by searching (CTRL+F) for NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS. Delete all Path String Values. Then add them through the Environment Variables using the path that I posted in my earlier post (added below for convenience).

    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32;%SYSTEMROOT%;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\bin\x86_64;C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\bin\x86;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Roxio Shared\9.0\DLLShared\;"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin"

    Restarted command prompt after setting the Environment Variables, I assume?

    What happens if you type
    path=echo %path%
    in the command prompt? Do commands work again?
