  Your basic problem appears to be

  File Scan Data-->
  File Mismatch: C:\Windows\system32\en-US\user32.dll.mui[6.1.7601.17514], Hr = 0x800b0100

  This implies that some of the security surrounding the file, rather than the file itself, is corrupted.

  Please run a full CHKDSK and SFC scan....

   

  Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories

  Right-click on the Command Prompt entry

  Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.

   

  At the Command prompt, type

   

  CHKDSK C: /R

   

  and hit the Enter key.

  You will be told that the drive is locked,

  and the CHKDSK will run at he next boot - hit the Y key, press Enter, and then reboot.

   

  The CHKDSK will take a few hours depending on the size of the drive, so be patient!

   

  After the CHKDSK has run, Windows should boot normally (possibly after a second auto-reboot) -

  then run the SFC.

   

  SFC -System File Checker - Instructions

  Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories

  Right-click on the Command Prompt entry

  Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.

   

  At the Command prompt, type

   

  SFC /SCANNOW

   

  and hit the Enter key

   

  Wait for the scan to finish - make a note of any error messages - and then reboot.

   

   

  Copy the CBS.log file created (C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log) to your desktop (you can't manipulate it directly) and then compress the copy and upload it to your SkyDrive Public folder (http://skydrive.live.com ) and post a link to it so that I can take a look.

   

  Post a new MGADiag report with details of any error messages encountered.

  Thanks for your help!

  CHKDSK didn't seem to do anything, but SFC reported that if "found corrupt files and repaired them".

  I can now see Windows updates. I will try to install those and report back. 

  If I did it right, this link should have the (zipped) CBS.log:
  http://sdrv.ms/UT81nz

  At this point the MGADiag report looks like this (no file mismatches reported):

  Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (KB976932) is now failing to install with error 800736B3.

  This is the error message I was originally getting when the updates first started to fail.

  (Let me know if you want me to start a new thread.  I think the System File Checker did fix something, but it may have only been indirectly related to this problem.)

  The SFC scan repaired a fair number (182!) of errors - it would be a good idea to run another one, to check that it got them all.

  You should check in the Event Viewer Windows Application log for Wininit events - that will tell you what CHKDSK found - if there are any bad sectors reported in the summary, the hard drive may be failing.

  Please download and save  the CheckSUR tool from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821

  (you'll need to look in the details for Method 2)

   

  Run it - The tool can take anywhere from 5 mins to a couple of hours to run (or 'Install') depending on how much it has to do, and may exit silently - it may appear to freeze for most of that time, but be patient.

  The result is logged in the C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log file  - and an archive …\checksur.persist.log file

   

  Then zip the CheckSUR.log and upload it to your SkyDrive Public folder so I can take a look - post a link in your reply.

   (post the new CBS log as well, please)

  SFC now finds no errors.

  I don't see any CHKDSK events in the event viewer, though it's possible I'm not looking in the right place.

  Both scans appear to be clear now.
  I think you're good to go :)

  Good luck

  Except . . . I'm not.
  
  Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (KB976932) fails with code 800736B3.

  I agree that SFC fixed the problem that was preventing me from seeing Windows Updates, but I still can't install SP1.

  Download the file for offline install from here - http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=5842 - you'll need the x86 (32-bit) download at the bottom of the list

  The direct update failed with a slightly more detailed error message (same error number): 
  ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_NOT_FOUND(0x800736B3)

  I found a discussion from 2011 where several people had success with an In-place Update of the OS (also called a "Repair Install").  It sounds like that's the next logical step (assuming I can find the original OS installation disk).

  I suspect that there's corruption in the registry that we haven't found-  and that a repair install is probably going to be the easiest solution.

   

  Download the SP1
  Refresh for your language and edition from the links on these pages...

   

  Heidoc -
  Microsoft DR Download links

   

  The links are for downloads from the Digital River servers run for MS, so are about as safe as you can get :)

   

  Once you have it downloaded, you then need to burn the DVD from it - use either the Windows Disk Image Burner, or (better still) your favourite burning application at the slowest speed possible.

   

  Note that you do NOT 'drag and drop' the file to the disk, you must use the 'burn an image' option from your app - or you'll end up with a useless coaster :)

   

  Once you have the disk burnt, check that it boots the (or any other) system OK - but do NOT start the repair from there - you must start the repair from within a normal Windows boot.

   

  Follow the instructions in this tutorial - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html

  - and they should help you get through it (it's not as difficult as it looks!)

   

  Always ask questions first if you're unsure - either here, or in sevenforums.

   

  Good luck with it!

  The repair-install seems to have done the trick.  (I had to wait a bit to make sure all the updates would load; but I think I have them all.)

  Without being able to tell, I think the problems must have been caused by disk corruption in critical sectors (including the registry file).  I'm not sure what I can do about this, except to keep an eye on it and plan for an eventual HD replacement.

  Thanks for your help, Noel.

  Run a CHKDSK C: /F and look in the Windows Applications Event log for the results - check for any bad sectors. If there are any at all, then the disk should be treated as 'dying' and plans made accordingly.

  Glad you seem to be up and running now - good luck!
