    Command prompt - open problem


    I have installed Windows 7 Pro x32 and I'm in corporate lan (domain), but I have admin rights. After a while I can't open command prompt, but cmd.exe and conhost.exe can be found in Task Manager. What have I tried until now without luck:

    - remove policy keys
    - upgrade Windows 7
    - run as Administrator

    But, I can open it using SHIFT + right-click and Run as different user and typing different user account.

    As I'm programmer I tried to create console application. After i ran it i can see my desktop background through it. I mean console background is transparent.

    DebugView shows this after opening cmd:

    [4048] CFRContextMenu: Contruct
    [4048]
    [4048] Initialize
    [4048]
    [4048] START : CFRContextMenu::Init : .\Src\FRContextMenu.cpp (94).
    [4048] InitFiles Count : 1
    [4048]
    [4048] F:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe has unsupported format
    [4048]
    [4048] FAILED : CFRContextMenu::Init.
    [4048] Initialize ---- FAILED
    [4048]
    [4048] CFRContextMenu: Destruct
    [4048]

    I'm not sure what else I can do except to format and install windows 7 again.

    Thanks in advance.

    If i understand correctly, it sounds like the process is running under a different account than the account you are logged into.
    Can you log in with the account the process is running under and see the window?

    I tested "a test case" on a home PC and get the error below.
    I think you are running into the same issue...

    As I can see it's running under my account. And yes when i say bring window to front it shows that message. When i log with any other account (admin, power user, etc) it shows cmd without problem.
