Cannot run Commands in system32

Well, I have windows XP SP2 machine, with 1 gb ram, and 75 gb of HDD.
The problem I am facing is:
I cannot run DOS Commands like:
IPCONFIG, MORE (etc)
I have suspected that system32 might have not been added to the PATH, environment variable, but I have checked the PATH environment variable, and my PATH environment variable is s follows:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\Sy stem32\Wbem;

What I need to do so that commands like ( IPCONIFIG /ALL) RUNS.
When i run the IPCONFIG /ALL command, then the error message which is produced is as follows:

'ipconfig' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.


Any suggestions???

you are on correct path checking environment variable .....can you please check the following:

- Check to see Which drive operating system is installed in (because that is mentioned is environment variable )

- Check to see with is the NAME of you Windows installation directory (because by default environment variable sets the path to windir=WINDOWS)......if your windir if different then you should modify it.

Cheers
