Can you open it directly from c:\windows\system32\msconfig.exe ?0

Probably not, since in XP it's in C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries. If it's not there, it may have been deleted, somehow.
Usually works when you put mconfig.exe in the Run box (Start -> Run)0 -

If you copy it from that folder into the windows/system32/ folder it should work ok.0
