task manager

[methoni]

Thanks in advance for your help...
I am having problems accessing my task manager. Sometimes it will show up for a split second (not long enough to be able to use it). I want to kill a job sometimes and task manager is not accessible.
Also, no access to msconfig. I want to see what files are automatically starting up upon boot up.
Are there corrupt files in my system?
What should I look for? I am a novice at this so please be specific..

Thanks,
methoni7

Try your luck with these.

Why does Task Manager, MSCONFIG, or REGEDIT disappear while opening?
