You are typing "msconfig" without the quotes inside the run box? If so, sounds like you need to do a repair install of windows.
Another thing to check would be this, which I had to use it to fix a friends machine after a major infection.
The reference to the path within the registry may be wrong.
Check this location in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\MSCONFIG.EXE
In the right pane, next to Default, it should show:
C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\
MSConfig.exe
If C is not the drive that windows is installed on then change it to the correct drive letter.
