It may be due to the environment variables. Fix it down:

• Right click My Computer in Start Menu or on desktop and click Properties
• Choose Advanced System settings -> Advanced Click the Environment Variables
• button Find the system variable called Path and click it
• Click Edit button

It should be a long string with several paths separated by a semi-colons ;. Check it contains C:\Windows\system32 (I'm assuming your system drive is C). If you not sure if it is correct then you might want to copy it and post it here. If you make changes you may need to restart to see any effect. If this doesn't help then open your C:\Windows\system32 directory and ensure it contains IPConfig.exe. If it doesn't then I guess you must be missing system files.
