Cannot run cmd or command prompt
I cannot run cmd from the command prompt, or open the command prompt from
accessories. From another post, I was able to get control of regedit through making a copy of it (regedit also does not work). I believe the problem is virus related, but do not know what I should post here to assist with finding the entries that are causing the problem. Does anyone know what I need to post here to correct this problem?

Cannot run cmd or command prompt
No error message shows up. I open run, type in cmd, then it looks like
explorer resets, but no window opens. I ran the malware scan in safe mode and, thought it found one thing, I still cannot open the command prompt.

Cannot run cmd or command prompt
This would make sense since I was able to open regedit by changing the name
to copy (as per another thread I saw on here and now can't find again). I'm at work now, so I'll have to try it when I get home. In that previous post, it referenced virus infected registry lines that the virus scans failed to delete, but could. Unfortunately, as mentioned above, I can't find that thread again. Would you know where I would need to look, or what I should be looking for there?

Cannot run cmd or command prompt
Updating multiple posts...
I tried renaming the cmd file, but had the same results (command prompt window did not open). I am currently running the antispyware program you recommended. Gerry, the link you sent gave me a message saying "Service Temporarily Unavailable. We apologize for this inconvenience. Please try again later." so I am unsure of what exactly the link was supposed to tell me (this link did not work on either the problem computer or another laptop).
