For some reason i can't change my web home page. When ever i change it to my desired page it automatically changes back the next time i go online.

Also, when i go into Control Panel and click any of the icons the window will appear for a split second then disapear! This means i can't uninstall or add hardware or do anything in control panel.

Any ideas how to solve this?

What webpage does it send you to?
Well that doesnt matter really, because it sounds like an adware/spyware/worm in the registry is forcing a set webpage on start up.

Try getting Adaware and do a system scan with an antivirus.
