Dos prompt



HI

On a Win XP / SP 2 machine.
When I go Start run and type cmd to run a dos prompt, the prompt appears for
a second and disappears. I have rebooted, logged in as a user, administrator,
and local admin. I ran a constant ping from the run option, this opened the
command prompt and ran the ping, I tried finding settings but could not find
any.

Any ideas??????
