Network workstation XP-SP3 will not respond to CMD entry. All other entries in the RUN selection respond without a problem. Going to the \system32 folder and clicking on the cmd.exe file also fails. I have attempted to replace the file with a copy (same size, same date) from a similar computer but that too failed.

What next?

Check the event logs.

Someone did something naughty, or didn't finish doing something unauthorized - the latter assuming you would know about authorizations on that workstation.

Only IT would be posting a question like this after 1700; it's a calling, I've heard, although I tend more to addictions...

We can't assume you've done the obvious things - please let us know a little history on this workstation. It's a geek thing.
