Unable to Access Control Panel

[Si]

When I click on the CP shortcut, it briefly flashes on the screen and then
disappears. The same thing happens with the games that came with Vista
(except Inkball). Everything was fine yesterday and I have not made any
changes.

If anyone knows a solution to this problem please let me know.

Cheers.

Si
