That is perfectly normal. What you have to do now is click start run cmd. Then type ipconfig and it will stay

There was not need for the data execution prevention fix. That was for a different problem. For the DOS Boot screen that you now have click start choose run type in there msconfig and click Boot.Ini on the top. Then click Check all boot paths and click Y Yes then Ok and then Restart.

So now that you don't get the autoexec.nt error message anymore your problem should be solved. The window will not stay because ipconfig executes and terminates. You have to run it from inside cmd.

I know you're correct about this. However, I go to run, type in cmd, the DOS box comes up, but terminates before I can do anything. It also doesn't have any info in the box anywhere, and no blinking cursor to input from.

How about if you try command instead of cmd?

I have to say even if command works I think cmd was replaced by something else on your system. I would advise you to post a Hijackthis log in the Spyware and Virus Section
