Hi everybody,

I am currently experiencing problems with my win2k sp4 installation. Everytime I attempt to run cmd.exe or a system program (taskmanager and basically everything in the control panel) that program shuts down nearly immidiately after opening. That is e.g. cmd appears briefly and then instantaniously closes down. I realise this hardly constitutes a good bug report, but I cannot really think of what I might have done wrong.
I hope I am not looking at a loss here. I utterly despise reinstallations especially because you learn nothing from them. Any helpful advice will be highly appreciated even if it does not lead to a solution. I have run AdAware and Multi Virus Cleaner 2005. Apart from the ever present cookie trackers it produced nothing.

Yours,
mad=dog

PS: The real pain here is that it shuts down everything I usually use for diagnostics. Regedit and TaskManager. Hope there's a solution out there. Google wasn't really helpful.
