Command prompt box on startup

ste-sim2x9 · 24 May 2012 at 15:56

I don't know if this is anything but i've only just noticed when i start my laptop and it goes into the windows desktop a black command prompt box flashes up and goes. I've never noticed this before, has anyone else seen this and if not how can i find out what this is. i've done antivirus checks and nothing.

Run msconfig from the run command and see what loads at startup. Might give you a clue. If your not sure post a screenshot here of the ms config window

Got an AMD video card?

This happens for me too. I couldn't see anything suspicious in start-up

Yes i've got a amd HD 5870 video card & couldn't see anything suspicious in start-up. I've managed to get a little bit of it as i pressed print screen. I says

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe on the command prompt screen border

It's probably this:

Code:

[AMD AVT] Cmd.exe /c start "AMD Accelerated Video Transcoding device initialization" /min "C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD AVT\bin\kdbsync.exe" aml

Yep thats it, i've just disabled it and restarted and it don't appear. What is AMD Accelerated Video Transcoding device initialization and is it needed.

Something to do with hardware-accelerated video transcoding I imagine. Unless you do a lot of format-shifting I wouldn't worry about it.

Ok thanks for that j6m, i could alway enable it if needed.
