command prompt problem

[bukaida]

I have winXP with sp1 on compaq presario. whenever i am trying to open the command prompt(either by cmd or clicking) it is appearing only for a fraction of a second and vanishes. Increasing the page size or buffer didnot help.Same is happening while trying to open msconfig.please help.

B sure u have antivirus installed and scan ur system in safe mode. Msconfig not coming up is sure sign of virus infection.

Hi,
Check whether they work in SAFE MODE. If they do, then its a virus problem. Download CWShredder, AboutBuster and GaoBot Removal Tool.

Boot in Safe Mode. Run CWShredder and click "Fix". After this, run AboutBuster and click "Begin Removal". Then run the GaoBot Removal Tool.

Reboot back to normal mode anc check whether the Task Manager works or not.
