Command Prompt Disabled?
Firstly, thank you very much for having me. Always nice to chat with people who enjoy this stuff as much as I do.
Which brings me to my problem...I have into a problem that I cannot figure out how to fix. I've looked all over from technet and other google searches and still cannot find the solution.
My mother's computer (which I am trying to fix for her) is running Windows Home Premium 64 and I can't get the command prompt to work other than going to CD. Not a single batch command works from ipconfig to mkdir to ping or even help works and I keep getting this same error:
Ditto for all of the others. The best I can figure is that is was disabled beforehand since gpedit is not available on Home Premium. I've tried adding the reg keys to the registry (maybe that was the vista one actually ) but none the less, is still can't get figured it out.ipconfig is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
Anyone got any ideas? Suggestions? Even ever heard of this before? I would hate to think that this major company is disabling the command line just to drum up more business for it's "repair" services.
Thanks a ton for any help!
