Very Strange Problem

I am having a very strange problems with xp. I am running windows xp home w/sp2 and everytime I open up task manager it stays open for about 3 seconds and then closes. It does not give me time to do anything. It is doing the same thing when I try to use msconfig. When I type it in the run box and press enter it opens it for about 3 seconds and then closes.

I have scanned my computer with avg, spybot and adaware.

If you have the WinXP Home CD, try a WinXP Repair Install.

You might also want to do a on-line virus scan at HouseCall.
