you have to add your java path to the PATH variable

Windows Vista

1. Right click My Computer icon
   
2. Choose Properties from the context menu
   
3. Click Advanced tab (Advanced system settings link in Vista)
   
4. In the Edit windows, modify PATH by adding the location of the class to the value for PATH. If you do not have the item PATH, you may select to add a new variable and add PATH as the name and the location of the class as the value.
   
5. Reopen Command prompt window, and run your java code.

Or find your java install (something along the lines of c:/program files/java/jre7/bin/java.exe)

And place that instead of the word Java

(Note you'll need the encase the path to java in ""'s)
