msconfig problems

[Guest]

When I run msconfig, the system config box flashes and then quickly
disappears....so I am not able to modify my startup list. What might be the
problem. Thanks, Brian

[[When you open System Configuration Utility [MSCONFIG], Registry Editor or
Task Manager, they flash for a second and quit. This symptom is caused by
Viruses.]]
