does anyone know what i should do to fix this problem? (apart from the

Is it like Win2K, where you have environment variables for ‘this user’
and ‘all users’ (easiest found by right-clicking on My Computer,
selecting ‘Manage’, then right-clicking again on ‘Computer Management
(Local)’, and selecting the ‘Advanced’ Tab and clickign on the
‘Environment Variables’ button. You want to edit the ‘System’ path
variable).
Just a thought.
