Hi,

Im experiencing some problems with cmd.exe (0xc0000142)'s popups, and
sometimes initiating some services (ie mysqld-nt.exe). Note that I CAN
run cmd.exe normally.

The strange part of this is that this isnt happening always..
sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt.

I already ran hijackthis, online/local (updated) AV scanner, adaware,
spybot S&D ant others, without any luck.

Plus I ran sfc /purgecache and sfc /scannow with the same result.

Any advice on this will be very appreciated. Thanks, Ignacio.

Meinolf,

Thank you :)

I forgot to mention that I already tried that solution, but that
doesnt work either.

Thanks, Ignacio.

Well, I finally solved this by replacing a couple of applications. In
my case, a fresh reinstall of my antivirus and firewall does the trick.
