I don't know whether you've tried or not, but do this for your Windows updates, per a post I did a few weeks ago:

Hit Windows Update (Start -> Programs -> Windows Update)

Write down what updates of high priority that are available. Uncheck all of them except one, and press the Install Updates button.

If the update goes smoothly, repeat with the next update that's available. If it does not, make a note on your list of updates which one failed, and move on to the next one.

Get done all of the updates that you can finish.

Also - did you install an antivirus again? They're far from the only ones available, but I've suggested two that you could try, if you wish.

I have a feeling that updates will eventually fix your explorer module issue, but if not, I have things we can do there as well.

Yes, try each of those updates, in turn, individually. Uncheck all but one of them, and try the update. Let me know which one of them actually fails. If one fails, and the others after it complete, re-try the failed one later. Sometimes one update can fix the issue causing another to fail.

Also, let me know what you chose to do for antivirus protection, and if it can complete a full scan (try after updates too).

Did you have any luck removing uTorrent with Revo?

This thread has been going on for a long time! If you're a little less busy than you were, let's see if we can make some progress. :)

I did try to install the updates and those were the ones that didn't install, would you like me to try to install them again? Also when they didn't install a window would come up and say windows modal installer has stopped working. uTorrent was uninstalled with Revo. i downloaded security essentials by Microsoft, i will run a scan on it as soon as possibly. yes it has been going for a long time so i agree lets' get this done and dusted!

In that list of updates that didn't work, did you try them one at a time, and those are the ones that are still left after doing that?

If so, that's quite a list, but I'll see if I can't figure out what the commonality is. There are also a few 'large hammer' methods we can use to nudge the Windows update system that might work. I'll get into those with you probably on Tuesday, but I may have something for you this weekend. 3-day weekend for me, and I won't be around much, but we'll see :)

Good to hear you put Microsoft Security Essentials on - yes, please do a full scan with it, and let me know if it finds anything.

After the scan, try to install those updates again. If you get an error again, please write it down word for word and I'll look for more specific fixes than the 'large hammer' ones I alluded to.

Ok, let's see if we can't get Windows Update to work.

Please click here and run the Microsoft Fixit for Windows Update.

If you run into any trouble or warnings while running the Fixit, please stop and let me know.

If the Fixit completes normally, reboot and try to do those Windows Updates again.
