It's extremely unlikely that the offered is corrupt - but for whatever reason, your machine is perceiving it as such.
I hate 643 errors - personally, they are the one WU error that has consistently defeated me in XP
Hmm I wonder.....
You say that you are unable to use System Restore?
What exact error message do you get when you try to either create a Restore point, or restore back to a point?
Perhaps corrupt isn't the correct word lol.
Heh I hate this error more than you could ever possibly imagine.
As to the system restore...
Details:
System Restore failed to extract the file (C:\$Extend\$RmMetadata\$Txf) from the restore point.
An unspecified error occured during System Restore (0X80070005)
0X80070005 errors are 'Access Denied' errors as a rule - which means that either permissions are out-of-whack, or the file is corrupted and the system can't access it for that reason.
Please run the following commands from an Elevated Command prompt and post the results
DIR C:\
ICACLS C:\
ICACLS "C:\System Volume Information"
Historically, once System Restore is barfed, the only solution is to completely reset it by switching it off, rebooting, and switching it back on.
We'll leave that option for the moment in case there's a less drastic solution.

Are you able to do a "system restore" from within "recovery environment"?
System Restore
option TWO!
Smilies can get annoying at times :) - every now and then I forget to disable them before posting fixes and have to edit them out later....
You may want to read the following KB article The Msdia80.dll file is installed in the root folder of the boot drive when you install the Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package by using the Vcredist_x64.exe file or the Vcredist_ia64.exe file
also - User.js file - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
I do not recommend running any executables direct from the root folder - and torrent clients are something to be especially wary of. Uninstall it and delete the executable (torrent.exe) if it's still present afterwards - you may then reinstall it in a more appropriate place if required.
As for the MemeoSendAddin file - I can see no good reason for it being there at all but it's probably best left alone.
In view of these findings, maybe we's best have a closer look....

That looks OK
Let's have a look at teh VSS service, which does a lot of System Restore's backroom stuff...
Please open an Elevated (Administrator) Command Prompt window and use the following commands....
net start VSS
sc qc VSS
sc queryex VSS
sc qprivs VSS
sc qsidtype VSS
sc sdshow VSS
VSSAdmin list writers
Copy and paste the output to your reply

That all looks normal enough (apart from where you pasted previous results as commands)
I need to think for a while - and I have to go out - so shout if you don't hear from me in 24 hours!
