You must run command prompt as administrator. Click the Start button then type CMD in to the search box then right click on CMD and click Run as Administrator. After okaying it or typing the password, command prompt will open. Alternatively, you can do this in safe mode with command prompt by restarting your computer and repeatedly press F8 on boot and use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
