'javac' is not recognized as an internal command

[Infected_]

Well, recently, my compiler stopped working and I got the error message "'javac' is not recognized as an internal command" Its worked for years, but all of a sudden it decided to stop. I haven't touched any of the environmental variables since I set them.

PATH = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin

CLASSPATH = CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin;%CLASSPATH%

CLASSPATH (SYSTEM VARIABLES) .;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\ext\QTJava.zip

I don't think the last one matters but oh well.

(1) Check that the value of the PATH variable is reported at the command line to be what you posted. ( Iwould expect it to be reported with quotes so that the space character is properly interpreted - but I don't have a Widows machine in front of me to test that.)

(2) Check that C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin\javac.exe exists

(3) Check to see whether you can run the compiler by specifying its full name: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin\javac.exe

(This problem arises from an invalid value of the PATH variable. It has nothing to do with the value of CLASSPATH. That said, why do you have c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin on the CLASSPATH?)

It might be a good idea to copy and post the exact and entire output obtained from verifying (1)->(3) at the command line.

Thanks bro! I just specified the full name in the compiler and it worked! Thx tons!
