Default heating and cooling? My feet a freezing!!

My heat works great it gets really good and hot, but it only blows on defrost. I believe it has something to do with vaccum, b/c my cruise control doesnt work either. Does anyone have any pointers of how to fix this?

what is its purpose? I was under the impression that it was a sort of "vacuum storage" as to aid the engine during low rpm's.
