ipconfig problem

[Guest]

Everytime I try to run ipconfig, the command line box appears for about 1/2 a
second and then closes. When the box opens I can see the writing inside just
before it disappears.
I'm running Media edition, fully updated. I am currently in Iraq, so pardon
me if I'm a bit slow on the replies and thank yous.

Hello,

Type CMD first to open a command prompt.

Now type ipconfig and you should get the results.

To close the window, either hit the X button on the top right, or type EXIT
and hit enter.

You're running it from the Start | Run line. When you run *any* command from
the Start | Run line, the command window stays open only as long as the
command is running; then it closes.

The way to run aacommand like this is first to open a command window by
entering CMD at the Start | Run line. You can then enter ipconfig, or any
other command, in the window, and the results will stay there until *you*
close the window.

Type the following in the Run dialog box to keep the Command Prompt window
open to view the result of the ipconfig query.

cmd /k ipconfig
