1.	Solve : dos won't open?
Answer» i double click on a file, DOS window opens, then IMMEDIATELY closes, what is wrong? i can open my command prompt, but when i click on a file it won't. it also won't open if i DRAG a config file onto an exe. what's wrong? ps- i run xpWho said you could do all of that in XP? What are you trying to accomplish? Run a DOS program in XP? Command prompt is not the same as DOS, you know. Goodgle for DOSBOX and see if that is what you need.The DOS program may be running properly and finishing which would close the CMD window. For example, if you find the ping.exe command in C:\Windows\System32, and you double-click on it, it will flash the CMD window quickly and then go away because the command ran quickly (in the ping.exe example it would probably just display the help screen and exit) and then the CMD window will close. As asked by GX1_Man ... What are you trying to accomplish? If it is a batch file, you can put a "PAUSE" statement at the end.
