  Hello,
 1. Could you send me your ".rootrc". Did you customize it ?

 2. Could you find  the lines:

# Show where item is found in the specified path
Root.ShowPath:           false

within your ".rootrc" and replace "false" with "true".

Then rerun ROOT again. You should see 
ROOT searching path as follows:

E:\users\root\tutorials>root
 the current keyboard layout is 866
Which: root.exe = e:\users\root\bin\root.exe
