I was MESSING about with my PATH variable and came to the realization it was a TAD long:

C:\Python\Scripts;C:\Python\;C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeGear\RAD Studio\6.0\bin;C:\Users\Public\Documents\RAD Studio\6.0\Bpl;C:\Perl\site\bin;C:\Perl\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\MSENV;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\VSA\9.0\VsaEnv;C:\PROGRA~2\Borland\Delphi6\Bin;C:\PROGRA~2\Borland\Delphi6\Projects\Bpl;C:\Program Files (x86)\JAVA\jdk1.6.0_17\bin

I COULD probably strip a few out. the edit I made was to add in the java path folder.C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\DonJohnston\SOLO\Applications\Common\Libraries;C:\Program Files\Elan Speech\Speech Engine SDK\APIs\NSCAPI;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared\;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;;C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\AUTODE~1
