Please help, going mental! I have just switched from LR to LRCC, I have synced my photos and am trying to sort them in library. But it is not letting me. Every time I click on anything on the screen, a new window opens and shows the photo in a view mode? Please tell me how I stop this before my computer goes out a window.

This may be the secondary display window - try pressing the F11 function key to toggle that off, or clicking the "2" icon at left top corner of the Filmstrip, if so. Or if you do have two monitors, you can move this secondary window onto the other screen - that is how I think this feature is intended to be used. Optionally.
