Conflict running DOS within WinXP

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I was trying to run IPConfig in WinXP and the DOS window closes just as soon
as it opens. I later found out that any DOS programs I try to run in XP do
the same thing. Is there a solution to this problem?

Are you properly initiating these CLI (command line interface) commands
from within the CLI, or are you clicking Start >Run, entering the CLI
command, and expecting the CLI to remain open after the command completes?
