I'll post all the details once resolved.......my gut feel tells me this is going to come down to a in place upgrade (repair). If so, MS is going to have to provide me a O/S disk...I only have a repair one. If they ask me to go down that road prior to running a in place upgrade (repair) I might try to uninstall SP1 & re-install. One item I do not like that is happening but not yet being addressed by MS is that KB2724197 is similiar type of Kernel update that was installed in October. I had an issue with this one installing first time but then it seemed to go thru on second try. I've tried to uninstall this KB to see if I could re-install but it gives me error. Note, I can un-install on any other W7 64-bit machine I have. This leads me to believe that something did not go right and since it is a "Kernel" update perhaps they are tied together. Only a guess.....wish there was a way to brute force uninstall.....unfortunately my oldest disk image backup is mid January. MS12-068: Vulnerability in Windows Kernel could allow elevation of privilege: October 9, 2012
P.S. I know you don't like giving out your email but if you want to PM me yours I will put you on the email thread with MS...Susan is being cc:ed.
