As the title says, I have not been able to install the accumulative monthly updates for several months now. I have tried just about all the fixes out there but discovered this site in my googling. I took a look at SUR. log and it doesn't look good, lol.

System is a desktop, Windows 7 X 64 SP1 running on a 80 gig SSD with 6 gigs of ram, the system runs fine otherwise.

Code: 
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

C:\Windows\system32>sfc /scannow

Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

C:\Windows\system32>

1. Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You need to run the 64-bit Version so please ensure you download that one.
2. Download attached file and save it to the Desktop.
3. Extract it.
Note. It's important that both files, FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work (in this case...the desktop).
