Missing Functionality after BSOD

This is actually the third thread I am making for the situation I am in since I was redirected twice.

The first thread is here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic450914.html

2nd thread is: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic454978.html

Basically I got a BSOD and was told to revalidate. After I did that, some things didn't work anymore, a successful update being one of them. After going through the two threads, it seems to be some kind of compatibility issue, but Im not sure.

Reading through what I did in the two threads will give more information about the situation.

As far as I can tell you havent finished with the malware team. You were in the process of Running OTL and had some missing files. I didnt see any note from the malware team, so I suggest youf inish with them first,.

I still cannot run OTL because of those 'Bad Image" pop ups. nasdaq already locked the old thread and told me that it wasn't a malware problem and that I should just come here.

Forget about OTL and the malware topic...let's start fresh .

What is wrong with your system...today, right now, as you see it? Concise, yet as detailed as possible so that someone might try to intepret what problems exist.

Please do each of the following, in addition to providing the narrative I requested above:

Please download MiniToolBox , save it to your desktop and run it.

Checkmark the following checkboxes:
List last 10 Event Viewer log
List Installed Programs
List Users, Partitions and Memory size.

Click Go and paste the content into your next post.

Also...Publish a Snapshot using Speccy - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic323892.html/page__p__1797792#entry1797792 .

Nothing has really changed from my old posts. My laptop still does not complete the installation of updates. When I shut it off so it can install the updates, it goes to around 9/16 updates completed please don't unplug or power of the machine. But then it just shuts of itself. When I turn it back on, the updates are still waiting to be installed and if I try turning it off again, it has to go through all the same updates.

I'm still getting the bad image pop up when I try and run some programs like MBAM


It seems like there is something wrong with the .dll files and there are also some compatibility issues for some reason

When I ran Minitoolbox with those options checked, this popup comes up


The results still came up though:

And this is the speccy result

First...go to Device Manager...uninstall all ATI drivers. Then go to Add/Remove Programs...uninstall any entries related to ATI/CCC.

Reboot the system.

Download or load from the Driver's CD...new chipset drivers. Reboot. Run the chkdsk /r command.

All drivers should be available at system manufacturer's website.

The bad image errors...have been ruled out as malware...so I assume that they are just damaged files. To fix damaged system files, you need to run the sfc /scannow command.

When I try to open the device manager from the control panel I get this error message.


When I do the sfcscan I get this message

It tells me to reboot and I do. It will then say that configuring files at 30% and then it will just reboot. I go back to do the scan again and there is no change. I've done this many times since I was told to do the same in the old threads. I was thinking I should just do it manually however I don't have a Windows 7 disk

I suggest that...running the appropriate hard drive diagnostic may be in order.

Free Hard Drive Testing Tools - Hard Drive Diagnostics - http://pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthetrade/tp/tophddiag.htm

If you have a Seagate/Samsung hard drive...you need to run the Seagate diagnostic. If you have a Western Digital drive, then you need the WD diagnostic...and so on.

I did the test for both my hardrives and everything passed
