msconfig and regedit not working...

[Vincent]

First of all, sorry if this is the wrong section but i
wasn't sure where exactley to ask this.

Anyway, I noticed yesterday that whenever I go to
start>run and then run msconfig or regedit they open up,
but close themselves automatically after like..2 seconds.
So basically i dont have access to them. Now today I
tried running netstat, but that does the same thing. It
opens up and closes again after about 2 seconds.

This is relaly annoying, and it's sort of worrying me.
ANy ideas??

Hi,

Run a full system scan with an up-to-date antivirus program lately?
