Guys...please please help this is driving me insane....

I dont know if Ive got a virus or something else I cant do anything as adminstrator ,nor restore or regedit etc everytime I try to load anything it says "The system could not find the enviroment option that was entered" plus I cant get any anti spyware back onto pc...the only thing Ive managed is to get Mcafee stinger to run but it isnt showing anything....Im totally lost and unsure what roads to take...

1. Boot into safe mode. Run your anti-virus and anti-spy. You do have those installed, right?

Reboot in regular mode.

2. Rt click Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables

Pls check and ensure following values:

ComSpec :

%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe

Path :

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\Sy stem32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShel l\v1.0\

3. Also type cmd in start menu > Run it as admin. In the cmd prompt type "sfc /scannow" and hit enter. You may have to reboot again.

After you have done all this, pls revert. Lets see the status then.

Open Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Device Manager > Under Sound, video & Game Controllers, find your speakers. See if its enabled, else right click and select Enable.

If not it could be some other problem ...
