    When I try to access the cmd prompt I get an error message; C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.com The NTVDM cpu has encountered an illegal instruction. My only option is to close or ignore, both close. I have scanned for a virus, none found. Any help would be appreciated.

    Exactly how do you access it? Winkey-r?

    tried using, command.com. That opened up the window and appeared that it was going to work, typed in ping, and it came up with a lot of different letters and symbols, pc made some beeping noise and it gave the same error message.
