[SOLVED] Corrept System files, Can't repair them. Won't update. Please HELP

Step 1:
Warning: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Do not run this script on another machine.
  1. Download the attachment fixlist.txt and save it to your desktop.

Does it matter if I have the forum page open while doing these corrections to my computer and should I be rebooting each time?
also I am accumulating fixlixt.txts should I be deleting the old ones?

Best to save all your work and close all programs. Reboot only when being asked.
A fixlist.txt file should be automatically deleted by FRST when a fix is executed.
 
Great, please perform Step 2 also.
 
Did you restart the machine between posting the software hive and applying the fix ?
 
SOFTWARE Hive Replacement with RegBak
Warning: This fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good.

  1. Close all open programs and save all your work. You will need to reboot the machine during this process.
  2. Download the SOFTWARE.ZIP from the private message I sent you.
  3. Right-click on SOFTWARE.ZIP and select Extract All.... Ensure the "Show extracted files when complete" checkbox is checked and click the Extract button.
  4. The software hive will be extracted. You will see the file named SOFTWARE (no extension)
  5. Copy the SOFTWARE hive to where you previously saved a backup. It should be (C:\Windows\RegBak\PC-NAME\DATE\Windows\System32\Config)
    2014-10-1818_56_49-config_zpscbb8aad0.png
  6. Overwrite the one that is currently there when prompted.
  7. Open RegBak by click Start and selecting Registry Backup and Restore. Highlight the backup in the list (it should be the one date today), and press Restore. Click Start. RegBak will reboot your computer to complete the restore process.
Let me know if the hive was replaced or if there were any errors.

Was step 6 (replace the software hive with the one you downloaded from the link in my PM) successful or not ?
 
Yes downloaded and put into file, was asked to over write it. I said yes.

Just can't get step 7 to work. It has the wrong date in it. tried to search for the new SYSTEM in config file
but it does not show. So i don't think it's pointing to the right or new SYSTEM i put in the config file.

Don't know if you ever want to use TeamView to do a live season, but I have it,
if we need it.
 
Just skip step 7. I fixed issues in your SOFTWARE hive and provided a download link so you can replace it. I didn't mention anything about the SYSTEM hive.
No need to use TeamViewer or something similar for now.

Please do the following only to see where we are now.
Start the System Update Readiness Tool (SURT) again.
On completion, attach the logfile C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log in your next reply.
 
Ok ran SURT Tool took a while.
Thanks for your patients.
Please find requested file attached.
Jim:-)

The SOFTWARE hive hasn't changed.
Did you do the instructions at step 5 ?
