I have a server rinning windows 2000 server, it was originally NT4 and this
strange occurence may have occurred after the upgrade process. Anyway in CMD
prompt if you try and run any program like ping or any of the exe files that
are found in system32 it says 'program' is not recognized as an internal or
external command, program or batch file.
If i change the to the winnt\system32 directory the program runs just fine.

Please help.

Check your "path" (by typing path in a Command Prompt).
I bet it does not include c:\winnt\system32 as it should!
 
Start / Help / Search tab / type path /
look for "Setting environmental variables".
