Problem with Batch Files

[ConTroL]

If I open the command prompt, I cannot do ipconfig unless I manually go into C:\WINDOWS\system32, which I shouldn't have to do, because it was working before.

I'm also trying to get on a runescape private server. I have java installed, I try to run the batch file, and what happens is in the attachment...
Also I can type 'JAVA' in the command prompt in system32 and it has like 15 lines of java text.

Can anyone help?

What OS? did you try CMD, or Command? I think one requires legacy environmental variables, such as "autoexec.bat" "config.sys"
path = c:\windows\system32 and the other uses the default %system

XP.

This is the code:
@ECHO OFF
TITLE Run-Escape Client
color 0a
JAVA -Xmx500m EGUI
PAUSE

If you can somehow make it run off C:\WINDOWS\System32\command.com I will be very happy.

Are you not able to run this batch file using cmd.exe? Have you checked your PATH and PATHEXT variables listed in the Environment Variables section of the System PRoperties like Gizmo suggested to make sure you have all the required information in there?

PATH: %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\Sy stem32\Wbem

PATHEXT: .COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH

But for some reason you really have to use the Command.com instead of cmd.exe then see the attached screenshot on how to change it.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: It does work now, its all fixed
I had to remove the space between sy stem32 in the quote lol.

Oh crap, I noticed it after you mentioned the space. I did copy/paste those lines directly from the Environment Variables fields so I am not sure where that space came from...glad you figured out the obvious though!
