I'm having this issue when i'm on Device and Printers and i'm trying to load this particular path.

I think my disk / bios had just went kaputz. It somehow forgot where the system paths are like %windir%.

Any idea how to fix this issue?

It is in the advanced system properties. You may just want to add c:\windows\system32 to the path, or mak sure the %windir% variable is set as in the screenshot.

Yes, if you cannot do those basic things, you are probably hosed. Even chkdsk probably won't do it, and I am not sure I would trust that to repair it all anyway. – KCotreau Jul 19 '11 at 1:20
hmm i was able to access it manually by cmd C:\Windows\System32\SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe but it won't save any of the variables. – chrisjlee Jul 19 '11 at 1:22
Well thanks anyways. I think i figured it. I'll mark this as solved anyways. – chrisjlee Jul 19 '11 at 1:30
It got fixed! I didn't know i turned on system restore. It fixed it that way (for the record). Luckily, i recently did a windows update and i had a restore point. Thanks for your concern! – chrisjlee Jul 19 '11 at 3:17
