[Active] Msconfig can start but won't show up?

This thread is posted in reference to this thread right here: http://www.windowsbbs.com/windows-xp/89913-msconfig-can-start-but-wont-show-up.html

Hi everybody.

I just installed a fresh XP Pro installation three days ago and have installed some sofware (including anti-virus). The problem is when I try to run msconfig (either through Win+run or via explorer or cmd), I can see it's process name on task manager but the window won't show up. It just isn't showing.

I also validated this using a tool called cmdow, that lists all currently running window handles and msconfig does not appear on the list!

I tried sfc /scannow, but it didn't change anything.

What could be the problem? I am a very experienced user and have never encountered such an issue.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
