• Cannot open the command line

  Whenever I try to open the command prompt, I get a UAC message which disables it, and then clicking Yes, no or 'x', firm invites so I can't use it at all. Furthermore, I can't adjust or turn off UAC settings. Something I can't do.

  This is either due to a domain policy created by your domain administrator or the effect of some malware.

• I can not run any .bat and cannot open the cmd prompt

  I can't run the files .bat and most horrible thing I've ever met is a missing cmd.exe. It's starts with me trying to play Assault Cube, which must run on a .bat instead of .exe like other games. But whenever I try to open a batch file, it keeps gives an error "Windowscannot find"file to the .bat file (directory)". Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again. "Each. Time.

  So, as everyone will do, they search the Internet. I would like to do is short.
  A virus? No, my laptop is clean after scanning with Malwarebytes. You have to open as an Admin? Yes, but I got an error saying "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action." Please install a program or, if such is already installed, create an association in the default programs control panel'.» Tried to do? Well I think that it is impossible for the command prompt to be included in the default values list. I tried open the command prompt by typing "cmd" and pressing on enter the Start Menu? So many times I've tried, but it's endless. Whenever I do this, the command prompt displays upward and 0.5 seconds later, it's farm/accidents/output by itself. Now 0.1 second.
  So, I thought on this subject and I typed in the start 'Command Prompt' Menu. When I see the icon, it's like the path or the file is missing of some sort. So I click right on the top that says "Command Prompt" and click on the option "open the file location, which made me feel weird as there should be no such thing as an option for a file that is part of the folder system32." I was directed to ' C:\Users\Acer\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories'.
  I found a shortcut to the command prompt, but I checked the file in "position to open the file", the location of the file is not displayed (opens in a new window as every time it is done). Also the guest who said when every time the .exe is missing is not indicated where we gave options to remove the .lnk. But it shows same either. If the file should be there, but it seems that the cmd is absent when I searched in system32.
  So, I'm at the blunt end to try to do things and to rely on some other cmd work and one question remains to ask with your opinion, are there links to download Microsoft cmd or is it even safe to use the another cmd PCs or by downloading?

• "Can not open AsIO.sys (2)" I get this message when I log in after a reboot. I have search for the file, but can't find it with the research or the command prompt. What do do in this file, and can be created and put into the appropriate folder?

  Hi Jack,

  This driver belongs to AsIO.sys Asus Probe. Try to uninstall Asus Probe and if you need, install again. If this does not help, uninstall Asus Probe and other tools of control such as Speedfan. Open the registry (regedit.exe) editor and search for AsIO.sys and remove all the entries that you can find.

• How do you do the command prompt window stay open after running a command?

  OK, I feel stupid asking this, because I knew the answer before. I learn Visual C++ programming. The book I learn to write C++ and past then in details on the writing of the GUI from Visual C++ part. The book that I market me through compilation and to make an exe file in a cpp file, and then he said: go to the directory in Explorer and double click on the exe file. I do, and the command prompt appears a quick second before closing down. The example in the book shows the output, and the writer obviously has his guest configured to pause after executing an exe file.

  I just set up my guest to do the same thing, so I can at least see the results. I know that running the exe I wrote, but I would like to see the output for less than a second.

  I don't know how you code this. But if it's like a normal batch or whatever it is command line related.

  Follow these steps to use a switch defined by the user at the end of the script.

  To pause a file of DOS commands under Windows XP, continue to the next command, you can use the PAUSE command. Make request to the user with the text:

  Press any key to continue. . .

  Then the batch file is waiting for the user to press a button. However, if you want to pause a batch file and display anything? Simply redirect the results to no one as follows:

  pause > null

  Given that it is perhaps not very useful (how will the user know they need to press a key to continue the batch file?) you display a different prompt. Issue a command with your desired guest ECHO, and then issue the break preceding > no command.

  For example, to pause a batch file of Windows XP with the prompt "Press ENTER to run the command", use the following commands:

  echo press ENTER to run the command
  pause > null

• How can I change text size and point via the command prompt?

  I want to create a script that will allow me to easily change to or from my TV to my monitor. I know how to change the display, but I don't know how I can change the size of text and point via the command prompt (that is, from 100% to 150%). Does anyone know how?

  Unfortunately, you can not.  In addition, change the DPI requires reboot (or logout and back).  But you can apply a different theme, that you can call from the command just by opening the .themepack file.  Since themes can control the size of some elements of the police who might do the trick you are looking for.
