cannot find command promt , need to do sfc

[mamumami]

First off, Hi all
ok, i have windows 7, and command promt is not in accessories > command promt, BUT when i type in command promt in search it comes up, then when i type in sfc /scannow, nothing happen, it just goes back to c:/, actually, i have tried several command, copy,move, sort, etc, nothing happens, no message showing me that i typed the command wrong, or i need to add another attribute to it.

SO then i thought i need to run it as admin, so i went to c:/windows/system32/, but there is no cmd.exe there, i only found COMMAND.COM, when i left click, it opens command promt, but still cant enter no commands, and when i right click, run as admin option isnt there, please help i need to run sfc /scannow.

my computer recently had a virus(now deleted, using bitdefender,malwarebytes, and verified with spybot), but it messed up my SOUND. I have no sound in my computer after the virus, so i want to make sure all my windows file are still there, please help, BTW, everything else is fine, just no sound.

Have you tried typing CMD in the Start/search window ?

Then sfc /scannow

You need to Run as Administrator.

Type CMD in Start search box.

Rightclick on Result, click Run as Administrator.

then type "sfc /scannow" without the quotes. Include the space.

Hope it helps.

Is cmd.exe available in the following location?

C:\Windows\System32

If yes, right click on it, run as administrator and then try sfc /scannow

As well as, you can pin cmd.exe to start or taskbar and check if it works.

Your system looks screwed up. Try a system restore.

If you dont have a suitable restore point, boot into the Advanced Boot menu by tapping F8 at startup, then navigate through to Repair your computer-system recovery options-command prompt. Try running sfc from there.

If that too doesnt work, other options can be discussed.
