Multiple Apps Crashing Faulting module OLEAUT32.dll
Hi All,
I am having some annoying issues with my computer. Lots of apps are crashing including FireFox, iTunes, and even word. iTunes fails to start period. Firefox, word, and other apps will crash if I go to save a file and try to create a new directory to save it to. In the even viewer, I find the following:

Also, AIM will not start although I cannot find an error in the logs.
This all seemed to happen when Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 for x64-based Systems (KB973688) failed to install during Windows Update with code 643. It never got installed and is shown in my Update history as failed 4 times. However, it is no longer available as an option as an update to install.
Does anyone know what I can do to rectify these problems?
