Re: cmd.exe Minimize, Maximize, Close, and scroll buttons corrupted

If SFC.EXE did anything it will be in the Event Viewer.

Open the Event Viewer...
Start | Run | Type: eventvwr | Click OK |
Click System | Look at any Windows File Protection
entries

See if cmd.exe was replaced. If it was not...

Try running the cmd.exe from the %SystemRoot%\system32\dllcache folder and
see if that makes any difference.

Paste the following line into Start | Run and click OK...

%SystemRoot%\system32\dllcache\cmd.exe

Did that make any difference to how cmd.exe looks?

If it did...

Open C:\WINDOWS\system32, size it so that you can see your desktop, and drag
cmd.exe to the Desktop.

If you open the Event Viewer, under System, you should see an Event Source:
Windows File Protection, Event ID: 64002 for cmd.exe.

If this doesn't help, we can try expanding CMD.EX_ from the \I386 folder on
your XP CD.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't make any difference.
Do I need to run sfc in safe mode?
