Then there is something wrong with your computer!
Go into my computer,
Double click the C: drive
Double click the windows folder (click show files if you get a message about them being hidden)
Double click the system32 folder
Look through the files for getmac.exe
Is it there?
-
There IS something wrong with my computer!
I find no getmac.exe
-
Try a start, Search for it - should be in a few places.
-
download it from here and then double click to install it.
-
"Search is complete. There are no results to display."
-
did you download it and install it?
-
I'm trying: I have to download from my laptop, save on mem stick and get on desktop, and I did not see your post re downloading before I ran start search
-
OK, it's not very big, so it should be a quick download
-
Downloaded, installed successfully, typed GETMAC and cmd prompt, and same error msg as before:
'GETMAC' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
-
Strange data point: When trying to scroll through c:windows, and system32, the computer slows to a crawl and cannot scroll
-
Sounds like you have a virus.
Try booting to safe mode.
Start, run, type in
MSConfig
Click OK
On the boot.ini tab, check the box safe boot box and the network button to the right of it. Restart your computer, it will go straight into safe mode. Try running getmac again.
If that doesn't work, then you may have to go into my computer, on the top bar select tools then folder options. On the view tab, click the round button to show hidden files and folders and uncheck hide protected operating system files. Say yes to the warning. Now try.
-
No boot.ini tab, will restart and tap F8 a million times
-
Definitely you have got bugs...
-
I doubt it's a bug, I run avg, spybot, routinely update, and recall since I got the computer there's always been an boot.ini error msg on startup, but all works fine.
