Control Panel|System|Advanced|Environment Variables|System Variables and
make sure that "Path" has
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%
at least somewhere in the string.

Else check that "Path"
found at
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
is a type Reg_Expand_Sz string and not type Reg_Sz

You can run Programs|Accessories|System Tools|Backup, then choose ERD, then
if you check the box for "Also backup....", then the reg will also be backed
up to
%windir%\repair\RegBack
leaving the
%windir%\repair\
directory files intact as original installation.

Then close all programs, run regedit, navigate to
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
rename the Reg_Sz string "Path" to "Pathx" Then run regedt32, navigate to
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
double-click on Pathx, then right-click|Copy the string then from the menu;
Edit|Add Value
Value Name:=Path
Data Type:=REG_EXPAND_SZ
OK
then paste the string (copied from Pathx) in the string editor text box.
OK
Should be ok to delete the old value "Pathx" Close regedit, and regedt32,
restart for effect.

Make sure your PATH contains the directory wherein IPCONFIG
resides:

C:\WINNT\system32\ipconfig.exe

You may not have networking components installed on your computer (TCP/IP)
if c:\winnt\system32 was not in your path you would have more major
problems.
