I hope someone here may be able to help me otherwise I think I'm gonna have to resort to a full re-install :-( I have lost a lot of functionality from the command window (ie. the one you get to by "run" -> "command"), it is no longer recognising standard commands. Two for example are "ping <ip address here>" and "format a:" It throws up an error message: 'PING' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. What's going on? Why have these commands stopped working? And more importantly, how can I fix it?
