    If i click start,control panel it opens as a reduced icon to the task bar but wont open so as i can see the actual control panel?
    The only way i can access control panel is computer then the link at the top open control panel which it does.
    how can i get the control panel to open from start-control panel.
    This has only just started to happen?

    Hello McGoo,

    Since it has an opened icon on the taskbar, it's window may just be offscreen. If so, then you could use the method in the tutorial below to drag it back onscreen.

    Offscreen Window - Move Back to Desktop

    Hope this helps, :)
