I may have caused serious problems to my computer. I tried following the directions below, and under “Variable Value” I deleted everything and then typed ;c:\Progs Now I just read somewhere that if you DELETE anything from the Path, you can cause serious problems to your computer! Should I now restore my computer to an earlier time?
