Hi!

I allowed the auto upgrade of Anti-spyware yesterday and there seem to be
some anomalies in the sytem.

When I go to command prompt it simply does not open( it open the command
window for a sec and closes automatically). This happens when I open command
window with the "cmd" command. When I run the window with the "command" in
Run. It opens the command windows, but hangs the system critically when I
give any command (ping, dir, etc).I have to hard boot the system to get
things working.

Now I am planning to restore the system to pre-installation date.

I am using XP Home on Toshiba Satellite M35X-S309.

Has anybody else encountered this problem.

Regards,
Muhammad Khalid
 
Dear Sir:

I had a critical error after I did the automatic upgrade
yrdterday and they told me to uninstall Microsoft
Antispyware and download it again. I did it and it
worked.

In your case, I would restore the system to an earlier
point like you said you were going to do. If that does
not work, I would suggest that you reformat your hard
drive and reinstall all your programs.

Hi,

Please let us know how you make out. This is not the behavior that's usually
reported here, and I wonder if there is something else going on with the pc.
