Hello Guys!
I have Issue with my windows XP profesional.
I am trying to run commands, like IPCONFIG and PING on the DOS command line, but the are not working, Before they were working fine, I do not what happened, and why are they not recognized now.
Any suggestions and help will be appreciated.
Thanx
Harbir
Go to windows/system32 directory and run from there.
If the command exe exists there, it should work.
Your path may be mucked up
Any new software?

Thanx Morganlefay
"Ping" and "Ipconfig" commands are working well from c:\windows\system32.
I guess i have loaded couple of softwares for my work, that may have messed the path.
Please one for information I would like to ask you, how do i set the Path now.
Thank You very Much.
I appreciate it.

Displays the name of or changes the current directory.
CHDIR [/D] [drive:][path]
CHDIR [..]
CD [/D] [drive:][path]
CD [..]
.. Specifies that you want to change to the parent directory.
Type CD drive: to display the current directory in the specified drive.
Type CD without parameters to display the current drive and directory.
Use the /D switch to change current drive in addition to changing current
directory for a drive.
If Command Extensions are enabled CHDIR changes as follows:
The current directory string is converted to use the same case as
the on disk names. So CD C:\TEMP would actually set the current
directory to C:\Temp if that is the case on disk.
CHDIR command does not treat spaces as delimiters, so it is possible to
CD into a subdirectory name that contains a space without surrounding
the name with quotes. For example:
cd \winnt\profiles\username\programs\start menu
is the same as:
cd "\winnt\profiles\username\programs\start menu"
which is what you would have to type if extensions were disabled.
RThanx once again Morganlefay

Right-click on My Computer and select Properties.
Select Advanced and
then Environment Variables.
High-light the Path variable in the System
variables list and select Edit.
Make sure
c:\windows\system32
is in the path...or add it
careful :cool:
