I had some difficulties running external programs from Eclipse, I use it 
along with CDT for some of my C++ projects - Eclipse/CDT process paths 
by itself under some circumstances, I even had problems running e.g. 
nmake from Eclipse, when I made batch file for nmake (nmake.bat) and 
even if I insert only "nmake" command to Eclipse (build using makefile), 
Eclipse always looks for "nmake.exe", which was not in the path, but 
does not find "nmake.bat" which was on the path. It taked quite long 
time to figure out where the problem is :)

However, if you said you tried it even from command line and it didn't 
work, it won't be Eclipse-only problem.

In this case, it seems your Windows installation is seriously broken, I 
would recommend Windows reinstallation (but, I know its is nightmare :-/ 
). First I would try to reinstall GraphViz. But when you said you got 
more programs broken (Ghostcript), there can be problems with hard drive 
(bad sectors, imminent drive failure, ...), or in Windows itself (files 
damage), etc.
