Hello,

 

Hope someone can help.

My Cmd when i open it as admin it opens as

 

C:\program files <86> \apache group\apache2\bin>

Hello Sleepydude,

 

Thanks for the reply

 

Start button

Search > cmd > run as admin

[Ztruker]

Open a command prompt (not elevated) and enter

 

echo %comspec%

 

Response should be:

C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe

 

Repeat from a ELevated Command prompt, response should be the same.

 

If it's not, change it.

 

Control Panel

System

Advanced System Settings

Environment Variables button

 

Set Comspec under System variables to C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe

 

See if that helps.

Hi,

 

Please can you type cmd on the search box right click the result and select Properties, then post a screenshot showing the properties window.
