it's ok i solved it just in case anyone else comes acroos the same thing
i downloaded a new anti spy ware thing the other day zone alarm i think was the name and i think the firewall on it may have stopped me accessing any programmes, cause when i started the computer in safe mode and removed zone alarm the computer worked fine after it..
