format, you probably have a virus

hell i aint formattin

Tracert is a program... you should be able to run it in the winnt\system32 dir.

Help is also a program.

It seems you may have lost your path setting(s).

DiGiTaIErRoR is probably right.
try typing "PATH" at the command prompt and see what you get.

It should look like:

PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem

If not, set it to the above. It should work.

If not, the hell you're not formatting. :)

OK that close. It works. But if I close cmd.exe and re-open it, it loses the path.

"Path" is an environment variable, so if you set it in the right place it should always stay correct.

Set it in:
Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> environment variables.

It should be listed under "System Variables", if not you'll need to add it.

Here's what I did and it still doesnt work. It only works if I type the path in the prompt

Lose the 'PATH=' portion and try it again.

thanks

Any time :)

Wonder how he lost it.

Glad my suggestion led to a resolving of this issue.
