Dignan carpal tunnel Registered: 08/03/2000 Posts: 12341 Loc: Sterling, VA	Far too often when I do something that brings up the command prompt (on Win2K), it will close its self instantly. For instance, I'm trying to run ipconfig and when I click OK, the window comes up and closes instantly. This is just ridiculous. is there any way to get it to stay open? _________________________ Matt

That'll tell the cmd prompt to stay open. You just gotta type "exit" (or close the window) to get rid of it. _________________________ - Tony C my empeg stuff
