'net' is not recognized as an internal or external command

I am getting an "'net' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." error during database start up using the supplied batch programs. These errors on both the listener and db start commands (net start OracleXETNSListener and net start OracleServiceXE).
History:
I had built a proto type database in the beta version of 10g xe database. I exported the db and uninstalled the beta version of 10g as well as the Oracle Developer Suite.
After installing the current production version of Oracle 10g xe I was able to bring the database up and down correctly. I created a user and test table to make sure that I could connect using all of the tools. I noticed that the database was taking anywhere from 50 to 75 megs of memory depending on what I was doing. I decreased the memory settings using the memory manager in the XML/DB interface. I then started experiencing shared memory problems at login with both the system and sysdba accounts. After viewing this forum I decided to uninstall and reinstall the Oracle 10g database. After the re-install I get the "'net' is not recognized" and have been unable to resolve this issue.
Conclusion?
Somehow, either some setting (registry?) is retained when I uninstall or I have somehow corrupted the registry where 'net' is no longer recognized by either Oracle or .
I don't know what to try next. Any suggestions?
