my CMD pops up right when my OS loads

I got windows 7 home premium, and ive noticed for awhile now that when I turn on my pc or restart it. the second my desktop displays i get the black box pop up for less than a sec on top of my screen to the left. it looks like the comand prompt box where you would type in ipconfig and all that. it goes away to fast to be able to read anything or take a screen shot. is that something to worry about ?

ive scanned with afew virus softwares and found nothing.

 

Check your task scheduler for a task that is triggered to start upon login. If noting there, check your startup folder.

Doubtful it is anything to worry about.

 

Good points by jwimsett, if you still see nothing obvious post a screen shot of MSconfig -startup tab MSCONFIG: speeding up Windows 7 startup (Example)

 

Do you have an AMD GPU per chance?

 

Yeah I have a Phenom triple core N830

 

I said GPU, not CPU. Video card if you prefer, if you do the latest AMD drivers do have that CMD popup since 12.3 i think.

 

and they cant brother to script it to run in the background !

 

Tell me about it, i feel like i'm back using 10.x drivers, they had the same issue.

 

I believe I did update my ATI 5470

 

Well, check the driver version in CCC and if it's one of the latest 2012 release, then you have your answer.

 

I hit update driver but it says its up to date

 

only thing in my start up folder is picture mover.

 

Did you check your task scheduler?

Also like TIJO suggested it may be something with the AMD driver. I had a problem when I installed 12.7 on my old R4 and the cmd would pop up then i'd get an kdbsync.exe error. To fix this I acted as I was reinstalling the driver, but I'd go to delete driver instead, then custom (as apposed to express) and delete everything but the display driver, HDMI, Hydravision and CCC. Once I deleted everything but those 4 I believe the cmd stopped popping up and the error went away. It's been awhile so im not 100%

I think the culprit was AMD APP SDK Runtime.

 

Actually, I've not been able to get the CMD window to disappear no matter what i tried with the latest AMD drivers. I know it's not a task that failed since there is no error message, and i've tried every method of clean install i could come up with.

The pop up i get is related to AML.

 

ive tried to do a screen shot when i restart my computer but its just to fast to catch it.

 

Did you try uninstalling the transcoding features from the last amd GPU driver install?

 

i downgraded to the previous drivers and I actually like it better. I get more information in the menu regarding hardware with the graphics card. but i still get the black box pop up when i restarted.

 

When you installed them did you do express or custom?

 

there was no custom or express option. I did a roll back through the properties of the card in device manager.

 

O ok. Can you install them from a .exe file? If so then you would have the option to do custom or express.

 

I believe it is this.

Spoiler

 

Accelerated video transcoding. Easily removable in the steps I provided earlier

 

ok I removed it in the MSCONFIG start up. and it worked. Are we losing anything important though disabling the accelerated video transcoding ?

 

I get it on my desktop/HTPC. It happened after an AMD driver update and doesn't bother me, so I leave it alone.

 

I agree. Now that we've figured out exactly which command is being ran, you can let it run when the laptop boots up. It's not a virus

 

Same here, it's there for barely a second so i don't really care that it's there in the end. I'm usually OCD about those things, but that is one i decided to let go.

 

Yeah I got a little paranoid seing that. especially after my computer being hacked afew months back. my screen flashed for a sec and my cmd poped up saying files copied. I dont know what all they took. hope they burn in hell.
