When I click on the control panel, the whole page disappears and then it comes back up again without the control panel popping up. I have defragged and cleaned my computer, but it still wont work.

every time I try opening a window or trying run or the other suggestions you give, after I press enter the box flicks off along with the menu bar and the icons on the desktop, the menu and icons return but I am still unable to access any of the windows or the control panel. Do you have any clue on what is going on with my computer? Help! Thanks for your suggestions that you have already gave, by the way.

You can Click on Start -> Run and type "control" without the double quotes to get the control panel. If you want to access any particular option within the control panel you ned to type "control .cpl" in the run window and that will open the desired window. Refer the following link to get the information about the list of the available cpl files.
Hope this helps you.

Just open any window, either a My Documents window or browser also can. Then at the Address bar, type in this, Control Panel, then press enter. This should bring you to control panel.
Hope this help.:)

First of all, what were you doing just before you clicked on the control panel? Were you running any memory intensive programs? Second, have you scanned your computer for viruses or spyware? I use AVG Antivirus (freeware). You could also purchase Norton Antivirus and run it.

I'm not exactly sure, but try Ctrl+Alt+Delete. This will give you the task manager. Under proccesses search for control panel in abbriviated form. Either proccesess or applications.
