The OP stated that he has Win XP, so I'm assuming this is the machine that he has the problem on and answered accordingly. (It's not totally clear as he mentions MS-DOS as well.) The elevated command prompt is not the same as using the "Run as" option which lets you be logged in as a non-admin and then use the option to escalate priveleges to run an admin-level utility.
