See if copying cmd.exe from c:\i386 to c:\windows\system32 will fix it.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - OT - no DOS box

This morning SpySweeper informed me that it had quarantined a JSRedir-O virus, 
but apparently not after it had done some damage.  The only thing I noticed 
right away is that SpySweeper no longer would run.  After talking to their very 
helpful tech support, got the links to cleanup and reinstall, now it seems 
fine.  I am going to run a full scan as soon as I log off here.

But one other thing has happened -- I have no DOS command box!   Typing CMD in 
the run box makes my desktop icons flash off for a few seconds, then flash back 
on with no DOS box.  Navigating to windows / system32 / cmd.exe also does the 
same thing.   Anyone have a clue on how to "fix" it?   Or am I resigned to 
never going to a DOS box again?

Karen
