I'm having a huge amount of trouble with Windows 7 RC 32bit

I'm trying to launch a setup.bat file, and every time i do, i get this message:

"cmd.exe application error"

"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142)

I have looked around the internet for solutions, and tried one method involving deleting "Policies" entries in the registry with Regedit., but no luck so far..

Also, the windows troubleshooter will not work, i get a message saying an "unexpected error has occurred"

Tried installing AVG for a virus scan but it refuses to download update files so sticking to Spybot S&D for now

Any help would be hugely appreciated

you might try going to the security and hijack forum for help the link is at the top of the page

hey thanks for the suggestion, i'm downloading it now.

Could a virus affect the operability of cmd.exe as well maybe?

with a virus who knows dowload hijackthis and run it and post your log you can also try malwarebytes free version
