Thanks but i want to see if theres anything ese I can do because re-installing windows xp is my last resort. I mean its pretty bad if one thing screws up you have to re-install ALL of windows xp. So please help.

You can reinstall windows from your recovery cd just chose the reinstal do not format HDD.

Weird my is in there to but yet it doesnt work if I put it in the run bar.

At the bottom of the "downloads" section is a copy of msconfig. You can try reinstalling it.

In that case, check out Kelley's response in this thread:

On my installation of XP Home its located at Windows\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries

Ok I found out that I have all of the msconfig files the one in the system32 folder msconf.dll and the one in the binaries folder msconfig.exe, however I cannot get my computer to start up normally or access msconfig from the run menu. When my computer starts up on 3 of my 7 taskbar icons appear. I looked in msconfig(going to it manually by clicking it in the binaries folder) and they are all still selected. I also did what that article said, expand file and it expanded it I think just it still doesnt work. Please tell me how I can fix this.
