Cannot run cmd or command prompt

The link takes you to the thread you were trying to find. The conventional link was extremely long and will probably break but this is it. http://www.microsoft.com/communities...&cr=&sloc=&p=1 -- Hope this helps.

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).

Cannot run cmd or command prompt
Thanks for your assistance. It looks like I've managed to clear out whatever
was blocking cmd from running. Command, CMD, Regedit, and the command prompt shortcut all seem to be working correctly now. I'm still having problems with disk cleanup not finding a file needed to run, but that is an issue being addressed in another thread.
