Find Out If Certain Files / Commands Are Legitimate Commands
Feb 13, 2005
Is there some place that I can search to see if windows files/commands are legitimate? I have Zone Alarm and it has programs on it trying to access the Internet that I do not recognize. Another one was: Microsoft Out of Bounds. I have Windows XP Home Edition with all updates.I have ZoneAlarm free and McAffee AntiVirus.Nothing has been detected.
none of the commands i use in command prompt work and i get this wierd error when i play one of my games (counter strike) saying that there is something wrong with my half life launcher when there isnt. the game works fine but as soon as i close the error the game closes. but more importantly ive been told that i have system files missing? if this is the case how do i get them back?
I can not launch 90% of my apps, word, excel, adaware, when I click on the program it launches, and I get the .exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Then it shuts down that program. I can not add any new favorites to my internet explorer, does the same thing. I can not download a file and save it, I can download a file and run it though, not always successfully. Pretty much the pc is becoming crippled I have run registryfix7 (had it installed) fixed what was listed, but no helpI have done a full virus scan and spyware scan with Windows LiveOneCare, nothing shows up.
I'd like to know how to delete windows xp using commands... or any other effective way to remove it to free up space in my hard drive. I have another OS in a different partition.
I use XP pro, and my word processing programs are Word Perfect9 and MS Word from Office XP pro suite.I have always used alt+130, 160, 162, etc. to use accents, etc, for foreign languages. Never had a problem. Now, they don't work. How do i acquire this function and get it working again?
Well, I have windows XP SP2 machine, with 1 gb ram, and 75 gb of HDD. The problem I am facing is: I cannot run DOS Commands like:IPCONFIG, MORE (etc) I have suspected that system32 might have not been added to the PATH, environment variable, but I have checked the PATH environment variable, and my PATH environment variable is s follows: %SystemRoot%system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%Sy stem32Wbem;What I need to do so that commands like ( IPCONIFIG /ALL) RUNS.When i run the IPCONFIG /ALL command, then the error message which is produced is as follows: 'ipconfig' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
I recently ran into the problem of having a lot of the command shell commands such as 'ipconfig' "missing". The error message is: 'ipconfig' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. how to fix this without a complete re-install?
what i delete in the registry or some where else but the problems is that the CMD in Xp dont recognize the command net( net start, net stop etc.)stem-restore?
Just wondering if anyone know a good doc/list/page listing all the shortcut keys default built into Windows XP? I tried looking it up in help, but it only gave a couple and by no means was all of them

in my pc commands are not working in cmd prompt (some commands are working properly) i got the error like is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
Can I somehow save commonly used commands? For example, I have problems with my printer about 1/3 of the time. Microsoft has the fix HERE (Method D), and I want to save that run command into a dropdown menu or something (I've already saved the notepad file to the desktop) so that I don't have to look it up all the time. Is that possible? I know it will be there when I open it, IF I haven't used any other run commands, but I want to make sure it's always available without having to look it up.
For some reason CTRL + ALT + DEL doesn't do anything on my computer. i don't even know the proper term for what it does do, but i would appreciate any explanation alternative.
Recently i have some problems in my computer. when i type any command in my windows xp command prompt i get the error Code: is not recognized as anoperable program or batch file.when i type ipconfig, ping, regsrv i get the above error.
I want to disable or remove certain commands or functions in Windows XP ("Run" and "Regedit") to stop my 15-year old son from hacking around or disabling the parental control software that I have installed.
I have this login/logoff problem where whenver I log in, it just loggs back off. So I found this site has a solution that uses the xp recovery cd:when i use the copy command, windows tells me "The system cannot find the file specified" So what do I do. Can I somehow copy the files from the windows xp cd to my hard drive, then use the copy command.
I am trying to do some stuff from the recovery console for a Windows XP Home laptop that is in a boot-bsod-boot loop. However, when I go into the consol I do not get the C:Windows> directory as normal. Just C:. Whats the proper command to enter this directory.
Lost a program I used to delete commands in my start run . I know I can do it in the registry but this was a nifty little program that let you pick the ones you wanted to delete . Anyone know the name and place to dpwnload such a program ?
whenever I start command prompt..that is cmd.exe .and try entering some commands such as ipconfig or chkdsk or attrib ..I get an error saying "not recognized as internal or external command" is not working...I m confused what to do.Right now I m not in a position to format my system.
Anyone ever seen this, I thought I had misplaced one of my laptops at work and decided to do a ping just to see what would come up.I pinged the name and sure enough an ip address fired back stating it was in my building.I attempted to remote into the pc and saw a name that was one of our exec officers. I had just given this exec a new computer the day before so I was pretty sure she did not have my pc

connecting to a specific website and contacted my ISP as i was being blocked by someone and still am. I then installed a IP blocker and since have been able to connect. When i contacted the ISP they were getting me to do a heap of things with ipconfig netish ip reset and a few of ipconfig commands. Since ive done all these my home network hasnt been able to work. I have gone back into My Network and done the network wizard again and again I have also reinstalled another network card and still wont work. I have assigned IP address to all computers on the network. On all other computers you can see everyones computer with the exception of the host. The host computer cant been seen on the network and cant access any other computer as well. The internet wont work on any other computer either but the host internet works. i have another bootable HDD and booted from it and everything works fine.
System recently began taking a long time to load, and to execute commands.. Also some unusual responses. Slow to load browsers. Whether I.E., Chrome or Firefox. When logged onto the internet, responses, page changes and other commands are very fast, and links connect with very little delay. The problem is with trying to start up and log on, and do other work on the system. Sloooow. Also I have Skype 4.0 installed, and wanted to Uninstall it in order to add the latest Skype. However when I try to uninstall via Add/Remove in Control Panel I get an Error message " Network Error occurred while trying to read file C:\WindowsinstallerSkype.msi" I get this even if I try to install the new Skype over the old (4.0). What seems to be the problem?
Where to get a complete list of WIN XP system commands? Like the cnfgsys and powercfg. Along with what they are used for, it would help out especiall when MS support for XP dries up.
