I didn't say to edit that variable using mycomputer->properties->advance option,!<br>
I said, instead, to open a cmd session ad set the path var typing set path=...<br>if you edited the path variable through the advanced options window, overwriting the existing values instead of adding new values, you could have lost the previous settings, and that's probably why the python commands are now not found.<span class="q"><br>

</blockquote><br></span>Thtat's normal (and right, too).<br>when you type set PATH=..., the settings are stored only for the currently opened cmd session; if you close that session the new sets are not saved<br>that's a a safe way to edit temporary environmental variables without "touching" the general ones stored by the system (and permanently edited by the advanced options window)<br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">What should i do?<br></blockquote><br>restore the values previously set in the PATH environmental variable using the mycomputer->properties->advance option window (do not set the pythonpath var there; if present delete it)<br>
check that the PATH var in "mycomputer->properties->advance options" contains the python path (the installation path, not the qgis/python path)<br>"exactly" (!!) follow the instructions detailed in the previous e-mail<br>
