ipconfig window closes immediately;need it to stay open

When I run ipconfig, the msdos window pops up for a half second and then
closes immediately every time. It only does this whith Ipconfig. On all
other use of the Run command, the window will stay open until I press a key.
Any ideas how to stop it from closing?

That fixed it. Thanks.

Hi

You need to be at a command prompt to use ipconfig properly.

Ipconfig assumes a cmd window (persistent) is already open. Either run
it from one, or go for the one line command: start, run, 'cmd /k
ipconfig', which both opens a CMD window and feeds it the 'ipconfig'
command.

At the Start | Run, type CMD. Then, in the window which opens,
issue the IPCONFIG command.
