anyone any ideas why I cannot get any command line commands to work? Simple
things like ping and ipconfig get a response saying the command is not
recognised.
 
When you are at command prompt.

Type the word - path

This should show a path pointing to Windows and also to a Windows sub
directrory system32 along with other areas. If it is not, then these command
will not work.

To assign a path from command prompt type the following

path=c:\windows\system32;c:\windows;

Hope this helps

I have aslo found that sometimes there is program with the extition called
..com that causes them to not work in "system32" for example "ping.com" or
"tracert.com" once you delete the ".com" programs of what you are trying to
use they will work. If you can't see them go to folder options at the top of
your explorer and in views have it shoe hidden files and folders and also
DON'T have it hid protected operating system files
