problems with Ipconfig

I keep getting an error window pop up that says:
Ipconfig
This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
If the problem persists, contact program vendor.

The details are:

IPCONFIG caused an invalid page fault in

I tried to replace Ipconfig.exe in the Windows folder, but to no avail. The computer seems to run ok, although at times it says it can not open a new program because there is no memory left - I have 384 MB.

This is driving me nuts, I have to delete the error message twice each time.

Any help would be appreciated

 

This is unusual!

Are you saying that you get this message at the desktop. In other words you are not running Ipconfig directly?

Hello,silverback

That is odd i would do this right away

Also this

http://www.anti-trojan.net/en/onlinecheck.aspx

Now if both come back as clean do this
it may pick up what is going on here

download 'Hijack This!'.

Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan ".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log somewhere, and please show us its contents.

Good luck
