I have installed node js on my windows 7 machine, and the version is being shown as v4.1.2 but when I am trying to run npm install or even check npm version it throwing the following error. Can any one help me where is the problem?

C:\Users\nmadasu>npm version
module.js:338
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'readable-stream'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:336:15)

After reading SO (Node.js cannot find module 'readable-stream') solutions, I tried npm install gulp -g, even this also giving same error.

C:\Users\nmadasu>npm install gulp -g
module.js:338
    throw err;
    ^
