msconfig refuses to work

[Guest LuDean Marvin]

When I run msconfig, all I get is an hourglass cursor for 5 or 6

seconds, then nothing. In Task manager, msconfig is listed as a

running process, though using no cpu cycles. Does anyone have an idea

how I can get it running properly?

Once it's crashed like that, you need to terminate the process in Task

Manager or Process Explorer. Alternately, a reboot will release it.

 

If it doesn't work then, clear out the temp files and have a look for

malware.
