Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

 

 

Way too many Windows Explorer crashes and numerous odd behaviour for a relatively fresh clean W7P install.

 

Just popped up after having went from free av to SpyBot's Pro having BitDefender as their flagship av aand used it for 3 days until oddball behaviour spooked me and so I unistalled SpyBot.

 

Now poking around to see wuz up wit dis infernal machine.

 

Tried trouble-shooting via clean boot, nothing pointed to nuttin.

 

Went to use elevated command prompt (from me as admin) and yet the command or 'DOS' window seems to indicate I'm not an Admin, ref. see scr-shot.

 

As I read and recall, the resulting command line (as an Admin) is supposed to read as C:\Windows\system32, no?

 

Any wisdomeers out presently here?  Will hang a bit and den check back every hr or so.

 

 

Best regards and happ-e-trail otherwise,

You're welcome.

Ratz,

 

Tried their rec's.

 

Most I got there was C:\Windows

 

And worse yet, the start command shortcut properties are jake.

 

Even tried 'going with it' (adding onto C:\Windows>C:\Windows\system32>

 

That got me incorret syntax as well.

 

Hmmm.

 

Checked UAC and for kicks went to user profiles>change profile type, there it default lists me as local profile.

 

No idea if that's jake or not, but that leaves change type to 'roaming' or maybe sumthin else?

See if you're able to enable built in Administrator account and then enter elevated command prompt

Ahh, is this access?

 

If means anything, I've disabled WU in Services, but nothing in disabled or unticked msconfig.
