Are you saying that when you do Start>Run>cmd [enter] the command prompt
window opens and closes quickly? Are you also saying that when you
start Task Manager it opens and closes quickly? If I understand this
correctly, then your computer is most probably infected as these are
classic symptoms of a virus.

Contact the supplier of the software.

That's not going to be any different than Start>run>cmd, it's just a
shortcut to cmd.exe.
