I am runnig Windows XP Pro. When I run the cmd command and enter any DOS command, I get an error indicating that the command is not reconizable. For instance I type "ping <ipaddress> and I get the error. Also, when I type do run and type ipconfig, the cmd window pops up and instantly goes away. My eyes aren't that fast.
IPconfig you would need to run from that CMD.exe window. Otherwise it
does an exit and closes its window as soon as it finishes displaying.
In the CMD window, do a PATH command. It should start off with
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32;C:\WINDOWS; etc
If it does not, you can then give a
PATH C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32;C:\WINDOWS
to give a temporary fix, but go to
Control Panel - System - Advanced, click Environmental variables and
check the settings for PATH there
