How do I fix layout view

I was buzzin right along with a tutorial and today construct 2 wont switch to layout view. I click layout and it moves in front of event sheet but never switches. If I minimize the program then whatever I have on the monitor when I bring it back up is what shows in the layout view. For example this website. If I then click event sheet it shows up but then when I click layout it just keeps showing the event sheet. I'm using the free version which I downloaded last week. I run winxp. Any thoughts pls?

Try going to the settings and resetting the workspace/dialogues

I tried that then restarted the program. It didn't work. thank you for helping though, I have no idea what to do.

its working now, I opened the program and clicked to open the start page then it worked. not sure if it just started working or if the start page forced it to load because I opened start page before the tutorial.
