I have been trying to figure out why Task Manager will not open, as well as
CMD, Regedit and MSconfig. They all do not work from the command line or
anywhere else for that matter. I am aware that there are several viruses
that can cause this, but when I scan (AVG 6.0) I find nothing. I did have an
infection (Iworm-Cult) but AVG says it has been healed and it did not find
it again.

So, what else could it be? I would really like to solve this problem asap.
Thanks

Mike
 
As reports of all 4 of those programs being affected at the same time are only recent. It's probably a new varient or virus. Update your def and try again. If you can't start programs copy and rename them and see if they work. Try command

try
cmd /k tasklist&pause

or

cmd /k tasklist > "%userprofile%\desktop\processlist.txt"

which should be able to complete the command before being terminated, if so read processlist.txt on your desktop. This is what task manager would show. To end a task

cmd /k taskkill /pid <the pid number from the text file> /f /t

Cute! That's a neat work-around .. I may just borrow that one, thanks.
