I keep trying to run commands in my command prompt, but for some reason it win't accept any command other than ECHO. That was the last command I have used, no recent batch files, no recent installations.

I was trying to use QT Creator and it told me xcopy wasn't working. So I went in to my command prompt and tried to run a test commands of xcopy. That's when I realized none of my commands were working except ECHO.

Can anyone please tell me what is going on.
Thanks in advance.

Try echo %Path% & see where it's looking for commands.

What operating system are you using? Because of Xcopy I'm guessing it's some sort of Windows.

I'm using Windows 7
What is the path that it should be looking in?

What happens when you enter a command that isn't ECHO?

Try making a .bat file that changes directory and runs a program. What happens?

How are you opening the command prompt? As an administrator?

[zem107]

Yes I am administrator. I never learned batch programming so I don't know how to do anything, let alone know which directory to change to.

The error I get is
'help' is not recognized internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.

By the way, a few more commands work now, just some of them don't.

Why don't you post your batch script?

[zem107]

I don't have a batch script.
As said before I hardly ever do batch scripting, maybe once or twice in my life and that's it. Nothing more, never learned it.

open your command prompt, type path and press enter. right click in the black space and choose select all then right click the selected text which will copy it to clipboard, paste that text here.

Remove "set path=" from the front of the dm path and add the full path to the digital mars directory. The first thing on the list should be the full path to your system 32 directory followed by a semicolon.

Thanks it works now.
