Sorry Ivan, missed that. Most likely your path environment variable is messed up.

Right click on My Computer, select Properties.
Select the Advanced tab then click on Environment Variables button.
Under System Variables, scroll down to PATH.
Select it and click Edit.

Be careful now that you don't wipe out what is already there (if there is anything).
It needs to start with the following:

C:\WINDOWS\system32;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;

First check to see if it's there or if it's a bit corrupted. Add/modify as needed. 
Check your changes to make sure they look good.
Click OK Ok OK.

Would be a good idea to backup your registryu before doing this in case you make 
a mistake. Highly recommend ERUNT. Download and run it to make a complete backup. 
The if there are problems you can easily restore it.
