hi,
i have windows xp install on computer.I've recently tried to work my command prompt and it will not work. the message comes "C:\WINDOWS\system32\command.com
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applicaitons. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application." I have no idea why but it just won't. When I use Run, and type 'cmd', and then come onto prompt, it doesn't work.
To resolve this issue, type the following commands at a command prompt to expand the Autoexec.nt , Command.com, and Config.nt files from the Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 installation CD-ROM to the Windows\System32 or Winnt\System32 folder.
Press ENTER after you type each command.
In the following commands,when you type these commands, replace
- ' cd-rom ' with the letter for your CD-ROM drive,
- ' drive_letter ' with the drive letter for your system partition,
- ' system_root ' with the name of your Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 folder (either Winnt or Windows)
After executing these commands, restart your computer:
expand cd-rom:\i386\config.nt_ drive_letter:\system_root\system32\config.nt
expand cd-rom:\i386\autoexec.nt_ drive_letter:\system_root\system32\autoexec.nt
expand cd-rom:\i386\command.co_ drive_letter:\system_root\system32\command.com
If you try to start or install an MS-DOS-based or a 16-bit Windows-based program on your Windows XP-based computer, you may receive above error message.
Click Start, Run, type cmd and press enter to open the MS-DOS window.
In the MS-DOS Window, type the below commands.
cd\windows\repair
copy autoexec.nt c:\windows\system32
copy config.nt c:\windows\system32
Once the above two files have been copied, type "exit" to exit the MS-DOS window.
hi all
i have windows server 2003 , in this i am unable to open command prompt, if i type CMD in Run it will open & close
please give some solution
It looks that either you are not logged in administrator account or your cmd is damaged. You can re-install cmd. The application is located in C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe. There are two ways to fix it. First by copying it from Windows disc or copying the same from another working system. If still that does not work then you have to run sfc /scannow command in the run box.
