Guest DaffyD® Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 MS- DOS Screen After I type in a command such as ping or ipconfig in the run box, the MS-DOS window quickly opens and then closes. How do I get that window to remain open? It used to stay displayed in the past. -- { : [|]=( DaffyD® If I knew where I was I'd be there now.
Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Re: MS- DOS Screen I doubt it. I've never seen it. What you do is run COMMAND from the Run box, then run your DOS commands in the box. -- Gary S.

Guest Dan Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 RE: MS- DOS Screen Have you tried adjusting your DOS settings. You should have a DOS Icron and right click and adjust the properties. Please be warned that poster is responding to question and if you hose certain settings your os may not boot properly and poster is not responsible if user hoses their DOS settings and it affects Windows settings as well.

How do I get that window to >remain open? It used to stay displayed in the past. Type ... command /k ipconfig .... in the Start->Run box. Then type "exit" to close the window. Alternatively, typing ... ipconfig /all /batch .... or ... winipcfg /all /batch .... will capture the output in a file named WINIPCFG.OUT. Typing "winipcfg" will launch the GUI version of ipconfig. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email.

Thanks for reminding me about winipcfg and for helping to solve the problem, Franc. Still, this is new behavior. I never had to add those command keys before. -- { : [|]=( DaffyD® If I knew where I was I'd be there now.

One normally does not run these commands from Start> Run, but rather from a DOS box (MS-DOS Prompt), where the extra parameter is not necessary. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Windows, A+ http://dts-l.net/ http://dts-l.net/goodpost.htm
