There's no problem, that's exactly what it's supposed to do, it executes the code, then closes the window when it's finished. Instead, I'd suggest not using Dev-C++, and instead using a simple text editor and a command-line compiler to compile and run your code. I suggest you take a look at Gandalf's excellent thread in the C++ tutorials section on the subject.
