Default Cmd.Exe not working

i
1. I am on Windows Vista Business with SP1 installed
2. Until recently I used the Command Prompt for some things and it worked
fine.
3. I usually run it at administrator level clicking on context menu SHIFT
/"Open Command Window Here" and then opening at administrator level. But it
then stopped working.
4. Very recently Keying in Cmd.exe either in Start Search or Run brings up
the Command Prompt window for one second then it disappears so I cant use it.
5. I have checked for spyware and trojans and run a full scan all clear
6. I have run system restore no help.
7. I went to Windows/System 33, found the Cmd file and put a new short cut
in Start Menu. Same thing from here ie it comes up for one second and thats
it.
8.I tried repair startup menu from F8 and so on. No change
HELP PLEASE

Thanks,

Hi chocolee,

Try running a system file check - that will probably repair the damage.

'System Files - SFC Command'
(http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/66...c-command.html)

Hope it helps
