whenever I try to open control panel or my computer the hour glass comes up

for just a second but the application doesn't open. I can't get in using the

shortcut or from the program list. Nothing happens

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time things

worked and the time they didn't?

 

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus

status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and

versions) did you use to determine this?

 

Be sure the computer is clean:
