Unable to install- ANYTHING

Running Windows 7 Home, things were fine for a while but in the apst several weeks I have started to have problems installing anything... its at a point now that I am unable to install ANYTHING without getting an APPCRASH error.

I went onto MS help forums and tried to use their install/uninstall problem diagnostic... but I cant install it!!!

I thought there may have been an issue with AVG so I unstalled it and tried again, no luck... then I tried to D/L AVG2012 and I am unable to install that either!! What the heck is going on??? Please help!!!

Could be malware, system corruption, etc.

There are several ways to find what the problem is. The best is to go into event viewer (type eventvwr in search). Go to the windows log>application tab.

You want to look for critical errors (they have red in the left column ).

When you find them you want to look for critical errors that say app hang, app crash, or anything that relates to the problem.

When you find them please note the event ID, and the source codes and tell us what they are.

Here are a few of the most recent... there are a lot though as I am having the issue with everything...
