Can't access control panel?

I need a little help, I can't open my control panel. I was going to delete a game from add/remove programs and it won't work.
When I try to open the control panel it will open a window, try to load, and then just close.

I ran a virus check ( I use McAfee) and it says my computer is clean.
I use Windows Vista 64.

oh, and something else I noticed, I tried to use Daemon tools to mount a cd and it said I still had to put a Cd in the drive. So I put a dvd in and it still said the same thing.

Its probably obvious, but I don't know too much about computers. So any help is appreciated.

My last post was the first step in the troubleshooting process. I'm assuming you are missing files. If this doesn't help, post here again.
