commands doesen't work command promt

I'm not able to use some commands in the promt, like ipconfig, nslookup etc,
it works if I change folder to C:\Windows\system32. But systeminfo doesen't
work eather way. I have disabled some serveces and is now thinking that I may
have disabled one that has to be running in order for the command promt to
work porperly, but I don't know?

Check the Path.
Open Control Panel >System >Advanced >Environmental
Variables. Select Path and Edit. It should start with
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemR­oot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\WBE­M

This behavior indicates a problem with your PATH environmental
variable. You might want to try the following:

Go to this web site and download fixpath2.zip:

http://internet.cybermesa.com/~bstewart/misctools.html

Right click on the folder and select Extract all.
Read fixpath.txt and familiarize yourself with what's causing
you're problem.
Run fixpath.exe.
Reboot and check to see if the problem was fixed.

Good luck
