I have this problem with my PC. Something seems to have corrupted my files in the system32 folder. Everytime i type a command like "ping" or "cmd" i get an error and the DOS application crashes but it all seems to work fine when i type - "ping.exe" or "cmd.exe". Why is this happening? I ran sigverif to verify the integrity of all windows files but the results were fine. I have attached a screeshot of the error.
XP console apps crashing

Hi mridang_agarwal...
Navigate to C:\Windows\system32 and look for regedit.exe, regedit.com, and regedt32.exe. If all three are present, you may have a malware infection and we'll need to get that cleaned up first.
Let me know what you find.
