Vista doesn't offer msconfig. That option only works for XP nowadays.
That's not a problem, anyway. All you have to do is copy msconfig.exe to your system32 folder in Windows Vista.
You can get one from some XP computer, so you have to go to your friend or someone who has XP and transfer the file via USB. The easiest to do :P
 
What type of account are you on? Admin or Limited?

Could also possibly be a virus or Spyware. Post a Hijackthis log and someone on this forum might be able to help you. http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/programs.php#hijackthis

im an admin, no limited acount. I'll post my log right now.

are you putting a space after it?
that could be it, such a silly error that causes such a large problem :P

lol...thats what i thought, but sadly, still no msconfig.

Hello!
Your log looks clean! Also, I thought that is Vista because you are using Vista theme!
Please tell me, were you able to go to msconfig before you got Vista theme? This is very important!

yea. When i put in my royale theme, i was still able to get in though. I think it had something to do w/ me uninstalling something called PcHealth in z-soft uninstaller.
 
Ya, that will help surely. In the meanwhile, no, Pc Health has nothing to do with it.
I have no freakin' idea why are you experiencing such problems at the moment. Hope the link will help!
