my brother new to computers was playing on my p7805u while i was away and my cousin who knows a little bit but not to much about computers was watching soooo this is what happened my little cousin went into task manager to delete a process that had frozen *my firefox* for some weird reason and while he was doing that he noticed conhost.exe he though it was a virus so he went into the location of the file and deleted it so now im stuck without a cmd and dont know how to fix it other than doing an upgrade to windows 7 again and keeping my files but losing my programs which i dont want to do because i have soooo many and it will take me forever to put back all in its place is there any 3rd party program that can fix this issue![]()
thank you to anybody that can help me with this

you can't do a system restore? if not do an F8 at boot and try a recover, you may need your system disk........

yes, get a system disk of some sort for the version of windows you use. Boot from this disk but see if there is a repair option available on the disk. I have vista so it might be a tad different for 7 but in vista it is capable of detecting that one or two rather important files are missing or damaged and it can repair them without a complete reformat.

You could try sfc.exe. Here is an explanation.

nah sfx.exe dont work because i dont have a command promt to open up lol conhost.exe is command promt.....and for some reason having trouble burning a windows 7 dvd so im stuck atm
-
copy the file from another computer and place it back...

tried that dint work does it have to be from a 64bit one like mine? or can it be from a 32bit windows 7? i tried from a 32bit windows 7
-

If you have a 4 gig usb drive, download 7 from digital river and usb tool from MS. Boot from usb then choose the repair option. I use if for clean installs but have never used the repair funtion.
