Hello Ken, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You might see if running a sfc /scannow command at boot may be able to help.

If not, then you could do a system restore using a restore point dated before this started to hopefully fix it for you.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

While you are at it, also run a malware scan with mbam free.

Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware, anti-virus and spyware removal download

Er, are you running the dos command itself from the start menu? Or are you opening a dos box from start->All Programs->Acessories and that only stays open for a second?

Please explain in detail exactly what you are doing and what happens.

There are multiple ways to run a dos command and some of them DO auto close the dos box when finished normally.

What is a cfg command?

Do following:

rb: | type CMD.EXE | do NOT hit enter |
right-click on cmd.exe at the top of the list above the search box |
choose Run as administrator |

Now are you at a command prompt, for example; c:\users\JohnHenry >

Thanks Karlsnooks, this works using this method , I was typing straight in to the search box ( Start , entering it in the search programs and files )
