re: I dunno what it is, but click here for the solution! Wednesday, July 16, 2003 at 9:56 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by shabado (2 messages posted) Well I ran Norton Anti Virus and it came up with a virus on the file called cmd32.exe. It deleted the file and now I have no problems whatsoever. I believe that the file was located in the system32 folder. Search for the file and if you have it delete it and then you will also have to change some registry to prevent an error everytime you start windows. If you don't know how to do that just ask. Dont worry about deleting it cmd32 is not a valid windows file but cmd.exe is the real valid windows file. I am so glad that this problem is finally over with.
