There's a good chance your Path environmental variable is
messed up.
Download and run fixpath2 from this site:
http://internet.cybermesa.com/~bstewart/misctools.html
Take a look at the readme file that's included for more insight
into the problem you're having with the Command Prompt.
Next, make sure your AV software is up to date and run a scan.
The behavior you describe may be caused by a virus or some
other pest.
You might also consider running some of the online virus
scanners:
