If you've already verified that the necessary files actually exist in
the proper folder on your hard drive, it may be that something has
happened to your path variable, so that the necessary files can not be
found.
It should look something like this:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem
To edit the Path, right-click My Computer > Properties > Advanced >
Environmental Variables. In the System Variables windows, highlight
"Path" and click the <Edit> button.
