Command line closes automatically.

In windows 7 every time I run the CMD.exe it just closes right away. Tried it from run box and double clicking the exe but it won't stay open long enough to type in a command.

Go to search and type in command and select command prompt and run it as admin.

Then it wont disappear

Something is wrong on your system then. Or select command prompt in the menu, it should work

Obviously there is something wrong or I would not be asking for help.
Every other post on this issue is answered by people pointing how to start a cmd prompt, which is not the problem. The problem is it won't stay on screen.
Every google search also come up with the same lines, "click start, type in 'cmd' , hit enter", solved.
But that does nothing to address the issue in every search result I have found.
I also know that I can reinstall my windows, but I would rather find the problem than just nuke the whole OS and hope for the best.

Well one of the above should work. The command prompt not cmd

No they did not, that is why I am here asking for help.
