When I double-click on Norton AntiVirus, Run msconfig, or
try to view several other windows, the window closes very
soon after opening with no indication the computer is
doing what I asked or was checking. Ideas?
 
Check the application and system event logs to see if anything is being
logged there. You can also try doing the same type things in safe mode to
see if they work properly. If they do, you might have something loading
that is doing this in which case you can use msconfig to troubleshoot:

Thanks. I have not been able to find the "logs".
MSconfig is one of the windows that won't stay open. I
have run the scan for W32.Mimail files. Not detected.
 
Right click My Computer, choose Manage, then open the event viewer and look
in the system and application logs for errors.
