As Chuck 2 suggests, not entirely clear when you get this message. It would be very helpful if you would tell us what the message is.

Hey,thanks Hijinx! i find solutulion there.

this was it : "First, use regedit (start>run, type in regedit), and navigate to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control \SessionManager\Environment. Find the path entry and verify that its 'type' is REG_EXPAND_SZ, not REG_SZ. Post back if it's not the type it should be."

why the heck it was Reg_SZ?

It was probably just some program that rewrote the path value but didn't do it correctly. It would be hard to narrow down exactly what did it.
