Okay, I was finally able to run the sfc scan; however it said there was a repair pending, to restart the computer. When I did that and ran sfc scan again, it said the same thing again.

I tried both. With the same previous results for each.
If there's pending operations, with luck there'll be a pending.xml file
Do a search for it (I can't remember whereabouts it hides) and post it if you find it.
Either way, please post the CBS log, and it may tell us more about what's going on, even without the SFC data.
Search didn't return anything with a pending.xml Here is the cbs log:
I've never - ever - seen a CBS log with two years of data in it! It's more usually less than 10 days-worth!
See if this helps.
Open an Elevated Command Prompt
at the prompt, type
SC config TRUSTEDINSTALLER start= auto
Close the window, and reboot.
Now wait 10 minutes, then attempt another SFC /SCANNOW, and see what happens.
Here is the pending file I found.
same result for the sfc scan.
Please download and save the CheckSUR tool from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821
(you'll need to look in the details for Windows 7, downloading from the Microsoft Download Center)
Run it - The tool can take anywhere from 5 mins to a couple of hours to run (or 'Install') depending on how much it has to do, and may exit silently - it may appear to freeze for most of that time, but be patient.
The result is logged in the C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log file - and an archive …\checksur.persist.log file
Then zip the CheckSUR.log and upload it to your reply.
