Answer 1

Do it this way...

Start>run> typeappwiz.cpl and press OK

EDIT: You could be infected and this could be the reason you are being prevented getting there. I'd do a scan for malware and I've listed some recommendations below.

I always recommend the following be stored on computers and install them myself on any I repair.

Avast Home Edition http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.ht...

Run a full scan once a month. I find this the best free anti-virus software

SUPERantispyware Free Edition  http://superantispyware.com

Update and run a full scan once a week.

Spybot Search and Destroy http://safer-networking.org

Update, Immunize and scan once a week.

ccleaner http://ccleaner.com

Run the Cleaner scan and remove all it finds

Run the Registry scan and fix all issues but repeat this until nothing is detected.

Run this daily.

Comodo Firewall http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

Some people just prefer the Windows one but this is better.

Check that you don't need to defragment monthly and also run a Disk Cleanup monthly too.

Feel free to email me if I can be of further help

Answer 2

Sounds like your windows are slowly disappearing caused by malware, run anti-malware and finally run CHKDSK to recovery missing files.

Answer 5

These are of course system problems so I would try this:

press Start, Run, and then:

SFC /scannow

This will run the system file checker. If it finds problems you may need your installation disk if files need to be replaced.
