Help with enviromental variables.

Ok I have windows 7 64 bit.

I am trying to change my enviromental variables to add a directory for java editing and c++ every time I try I get the error
"whatevercommand I use" is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file.

Now I even try to use edit under command prompt and I get the same error.

I used Patheditor.exe and it claims everything is working fine. Even the ones I added are working. Now I'm starting to think its something with windows 7 that I have to change. Any help would be much appreciated.

If anyone knows a way I can test my enviromental variables to see if they are working correctly I would appreciate it. my list is

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\DivX Shared\;D:\Borland\BCC55\Bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;c:\Borland\bcc55\bin;

Thanks for the help guys I really appreciate it.


Edit. If anyone knows a good way to get started with computer programming please let me know. Wheither its websites or software. I've been looking around and cant find anything concrete


 
I'm trying to get java programming softwar4e to work. I changed my enviromental variables like they said and it didnt work. I dl software to change it and still didnt work.

So how do you setup envirolmental variables to work with windows 7 64 bit

and I did place what I needed to do. "I am trying to change my enviromental variables to add a directory for java editing and c++ every time I try I get the error
"whatevercommand I use" is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file. "

and I also placed "If anyone knows a way I can test my enviromental variables to see if they are working correctly I would appreciate"

Thats exactly what I'm trying to do.
 
Open System Properties (Start Menu > right click Computer, select properties)
Click Advanced system settings
Click Environment Variables button

Change settings there

To test, open a command prompt (Win Key + R, type CMD and press enter) and type "echo %path%" (change %path% to %myvariablenamehere%) and your variable will be displayed.
 
When I do that it comes up but it doesnt allow me to use the command. The way I read it after I put java or C++ in the variables. I should be able to open a dos prompt and type Javac and it should come up with a list no matter what directory I'm in. It doesnt work though. Thats why I think it may be something different in windows 7 64bit
 
I deleted off half then tried to run the program it still didnt work. And I checked with patheditor and once again it said everything was working correctly still. 🙁. do you have any other ideas that may help I really do appreciate all the help.

after I deleted half out I replaced the ones I deleted after I tried lol.
