As long as you are not trying to run a 16-bit program on 64-bit Windows, then try either Windows key+R or click Start (or tap the Windows key), then just type (or paste in your command to the Search programs and files text box) and press <enter>.

If you feel that you really need the Run window, you can add it by customizing the Start Menu. Right click the Start button and selectProperties. Click the Customize button in the upper right.

Figure 1.0 - Customize Start Menu Dialog

Scroll about three-quarters of the way down the list of options and place a checkmark beside Run command. Click OK to save your changes here and OK to save again at the Properties dialog.

The familiar Run command should be back in your Start menu in the right hand menu pane. The Run window does keep a drop-down history of previous commands.
