Hi,

I suppose you are now trying to run GDAL utilities from the "Run" window. Try to
get the black DOS screen open and stay open first.  Start - Run - write cmd -
press Enter is one way, or you can find it from Start-All
programs-Utilities-Command line. I am not sure about how Windows show menu items
in English, but anyway, you will find it.

Then you can run GDAL utilities from the DOS window and it will keep open and
show all the messages for you.
