Title: system32\sysprep\hidecmd.exe
Post by: djpapesh on October 15, 2008, 09:31:17 AM

hi there, i keep getting this error everytime i startup my computer...windows cannot find system32\sysprep\hidecmd.exe and a black command screen displays until i click ok...i did a little searching on the internet and someone mentioned to check my startup box in the msconfig utility and look for any BAT files or files that looked suspicious, i found a BAT file thats name was B2, dont know what it is but i disabled it and it took care of the problem, im still a little iffy as to if this is the right fix or not, so if anyone has ever heard of this problem and knows if what i did was right or has another solution, please let me know, thanks in advance to any and all answers!

p.s im using windows vista home premium 32 bit

Surely it is. Is it legit Vista copy?
