The Error code 0x80000FFF when you download updates on a Windows Vista-based computer by using Windows Update or Microsoft Update fix is for Windows Vista, but it may apply to 7 as well. Create a restore point before running it.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS doesn't seem to exist. Really weird.
I think I did as it solved this problem at one point before. Next step would be getting a fresh windows on here?
You could try doing a Repair Install if you do not want to lose your data or programs. If you have a backup of the data and not too many programs, then it would make sense to Clean Install Windows 7.
In the future, please stay away from automated software that cleans the registry or applies other "optimization" tools. If you need help with a registry related problem or want to optimize your computer, there are experienced users in Performance & Maintenance who can help, and that forum also has good tutorials for optimization tasks.

Repaired and installing updates now, hopefully should get back to where I need to be. Yeah I know I shouldn't have done it but I did it anyways, I panicked. Thanks for leading me through this, I'll update any problems if there is any. I really appreciate it. I'm hoping getting the service pack on will help.
Alright, let us know how things go once the service pack is installed. If you have problems installing updates in the future, we have the forum Windows Updates & Activation here for that, as well. You would just have to start a thread detailing your error and someone would assist you to solve the issue.
I think http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 may have been the solution to your recent updates problem.
Everything is up to date as of now. Going to load up the game and see if anything happens. Fingers crossed.
Computer just rebooted, no BSOD, so no dmp...
