The problem with Regedit is one that is associated with an infestation
by several different viruses/trojans. What happens if you use Start
- Run - MSCONFIG? Does that also close immediately? That would tend
to confirm that your computer is infested.
Try going to one of the following free online scanning sites and doing
a check of your computer there. If your computer crashes during the
online scan try rebooting to "Safe Mode with Networking" and then
doing the scan again.

Trend Micro http://housecall.trendmicro.com
Kaspersky Online Scanner http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
Panda ActiveScan http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan
WindowSecurity.com TrojanScan http://windowssecurity.com/trojanscan
Webroot http://www.webroot.com
Good luck
