Cmd.exe crashes when run as admin

Every time i run cmd.exe as an administrator the UAC ask me for permission. I select continue. Then for a split second the Black command prompt screen comes up the disapears. It comes on for such a short amount of time i cant even read it. Also when i try to run updates for some of my programs the same thing happens UAC window will ask me to continue. I select continue and then comand prompt window will pop up for a split second then go away and nothing else happens. No update or anything.

Follow this carefully, this is how it is done in Vista, too. I think that you are not running as administrator.

I've done all that and it works command prompt runs as administrator but then closes immediately. I can only run command prompt regular. Any time I try to run as administrator using any of the methods in that how to link it shuts down immediately. I think that's why I can't run some of my up dates.

Hello,

This is the work of the virus (unless I am very much mistaken) Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and run a full scan, and upload the logs.

If that has not fixed the problem, I will call in Jacee, a true expert in virus removal, as I cannot help you at the moment

Sorry it has taken me a little while to get back to you on this but i installed and ran Malwarebytes and it did find a trojan that it quarantined and deleted successfully. I then tried to run cmd.exe as administrator and still have the same problem as before. So you were kinda right. I had a virus but that didn't solve my cmd.exe problem.

I d onot think that you are doing it right. Did you follow the tutorial carefully?

I know for a fact I'm doing it right. Even if by some chance I could get running command prompt in administrator mode wrong that still does not explain why it is doing what its doing. I know how to run command prompt as an administrator. The tutorial you gave me showed me how to do something I already know how to do. My problem is not how to run cmd.exe as an administrator but what happens after I run as administrator. For some reason it just shuts down immediately. When I don't run cmd.exe as an administrator it works fine.

When I first got Vista, I thought that if I ran from an administrator account it would be the same thing and it behaved very similar to what you are describing.


Let me research and see if there is an alternative method.

Try it this way if it still does not work, we will try to fix it. I want this as much as you.
