Hey, Guys, I'm new to these forums so im sorry if this is in the wrong
spot, but eveytime I type a command into my CMD Prompt window I always
get this error;

C:\Users\User>ping 'Goole.com - Search the Net or visit Goole'
(http://www.goole.com)
'ping' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

it happens with every command I've tried, can someone help, please

Type these commands, and paste the outputs here in your reply:

path

set

You might want to mask any info that you do not want to give out, like your
user name..

BTW, if you wanted to ping that site, you only have to type:

ping goole.com

....not the whole name of your shortcut, like you appear to have done.

I tried to access goole.com and my antivirus, Avast, stopped me noting that
the site is a malicious site.

Paste the results into your response. The images you may be posting via
vbulletin do not carry through to the newsservers most of us are using. The
forum you are on merely schleps posts to/from Microsoft's support newsgroups
to make them appear busier than they really are.

Thank you all for giving me a hand in my issue, but I've found what th
problem was

It was doing commands in

C:\users\user

I had to type cd.. to take it back to

C:\

Then after that I had to type

C:/windows/system32/<command here

Full command now is

C:\>C:/windows/system32/ping 'Google' (http://www.google.com

Bit of info if anyone else was having the same problem.

Again, thanks for the help you guys were givin

No, your path is wrong. When you type a command from the cmd prompt,
if the executable isn't in the current directory, Vista searches
through the directories listed in the PATH environment variable. For
some reason it looks as though your PATH is incorrect. Try typing SET
PATH from the command prompt, and you should see a list of directories
(separated by semi-colons). The list should include
C:\windows\system32. For example, my PATH variable has the value:

Path=C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\Sys tem32\Wbem;C:\Program
Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90
\DTS\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files
(x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files
(x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\;C:\Program Files
(x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VS
Shell\Common7\IDE\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\;C:\Program Files
(x86)\Subversion\bin;C:\PROGRA~1\DISKEE~1\DI
SKEE~1\;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0 \;C:\Program
Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Program Files
(x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files\NCover\;C:\Prog
ram Files (x86)\Nmap


If you want to edit your path, you might find it easier to right click
on "Computer" on your desktop, choose "properties", then "advanced
system settings", and then on "environment variables". You can change
the PATH variable for all users in the lower of the two list boxes. A
reboot might be needed before the changes take effect.
