You need set the class path.

Right click on the my computer ==> Advanced tab ==> Environment variables.

You can set the class path here.

Forget about the classpath variable; the previous answer is rubbish; first install a jdk (from Sun most likely); then set your path (not your classpath) variable to the bin subdirectory of your jdk because that's where your executable compiler and other tools are stored.

Did you install the jdk? Search for javac.exe and show us the directory where it is stored; that directory should be in your path variable.
