snort windows help

[Razia Mir <razptcl () yahoo com>]

I have installed snort 2_2_0RC1 binaries on windows XP. The problem is that snort doesn't run from command line without 
going to the bin directory, where exe file is present. Secondly snort is not working in IDS mode and giving error:
 
 
C:\Program Files\Snort\bin>snort -c "c:\Program Files\Snort\bin\etc\snort"
Running in IDS mode
Log directory = log

I have tried a lot of things moving etc and rules directories into the bin directory but nothing seems to work. I am in 
a very difficult situation and need help an urgent help. I 'll be grateful if someone helps me at earliest.
Thanks
