WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the specified


PLEASE tell me how to fix this - in very plain language so I don't ruin my computer. I have an HP Windows 10 laptop, by the way.

Thank you.
That is not the full error message, there seems to be a bit missing at the end. Additionally, you appear to have edited the error message -- please don't do that (without very good reasons, like privacy).

At the moment, we don't have enough information to help you, additionally, as theducks said, the incorrect spelling of the application name is slightly suspicious.
