Hi,

I installed W2K SP4 on a friend's PC. When I try to run "ipconfig" in the
cmd line it tells me "command not recognised". Why is this? I have W2K SP4
installed on my own PC and it works just fine.

Thanks,

Adrian
 
What happens when you try to run it from %systemroot%\system32 folder.
At the command prompt use cd to navigate to the folder then try running
ipconfig. If it runs there then your Environment Variables may be
incorrect.

Control Panel|System|Advanced|Environment Variables|System Variables and
make sure that "Path" has
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%
at least somewhere in the string.

Also check that "Path" found at
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
is a type Reg_Expand_Sz string and not type Reg_Sz
