title: Node.JS NPM not working on Windows
body: <p>I just installed the latest version of nodejs, and while I can get it to run js files just fine, I can't get npm to do anything.</p>
  
  <p>If I open the node.exe, it brings up a prompt, then I separately tried each of the following and none of them work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; node npm install socket.io
  &gt; npm install socket.io
  &gt; help
  &gt; node help
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>ALL of the above result in nothing but the line "..." to be returned, then every thing I type in after that, I just get another line of "...". </p>
  
  <p>This is extremely frustrating. What am I doing wrong?</p>
