Hello.
It seems as if my command prompt will not let me do any simple system commands such as ping, ipconifg, etc. And it will also not let me use commands for my compiler. The paths are set properly in the environment variables, but it still does not work. See the screencap below:

I have no idea how this happened. The system has no viruses and is clean. Any help would be appreciated.
This is what I see for a path on a fresh install:
C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
Try this from within a cmd prompt:
C:\Windows\System32\ping,exe
The command you have there does indeed work. As does the the default commands such as cd, dir, etc.
Then maybe put this in as your path...
...and then add your other stuff to the end.Code:%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
Ping is just an app - not a command per se - like DIR.
That did it! I appreciate your help!
You are welcome.
Please mark the thread as solved.
