I have just run the repair install twice and it failed both times saying that "setup can't continue" (see attachment) once it started transferring files, settings & program's. I tried both my normal user account and also the hidden admin account, but both failed with the same error.

I have just rerun the SFC and it found errors, with some that it couldn't fix. I restarted my computer rerun SFC which then found "no violations".
I then tried to install IE10 which I believe completed successfully but when the installer tried to restart IE I received the attached error message. I restarted my computer again and everything seemed normal until I started IE10 and received the following error "the program can't start because api-ms-win-downlevel-advapi32-l1-1-0.dll is missing" I've also received several different variants of a similar error message relating to "api-ms-win-downlevel"
Any suggestions before I throw it out of the window? lol

Hmmm - unusual to fail at that point
Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories
Right-click on the Command Prompt entry
Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.
At the Command prompt, type
CHKDSK C: /R
and hit the Enter key.
You will be told that the drive is locked,
and the CHKDSK will run at he next boot - hit the Y key, press Enter, and then reboot.
The CHKDSK will take a few hours depending on the size of the drive, so be patient!
After the CHKDSK has run, Windows should boot normally (possibly after a second auto-reboot) -
post the log from the Event Viewer - it'll be from Wininit source

Hi Noel,
I just tried running the CHKDSK and it's saying "The type of file system is NTFS. Cannot lock current drive". Shall I still proceed even though the drive cannot be locked?
Cheers,
Jon

I've just completed the CHKDSK, but when I try to access the event viewer I receive the following error "not enough storage is available to complete this operation" even though I've only used 36.5GB of 297GB?

I had to do a system restore as the IE10 update caused to many "api-ms-win-downlevel" errors about missing DLL's and everything grinded to a halt. I reran the CHKDSK and ive attached to log.

The good news is that the drive seems to be still healthy :)
The indexes look as if they were slightly corrupted, which can lead to the sort of problems you were experiencing.
Please run another SFC /SCANNOW and post the new CBS.log file

Hi Noel,
Yes, I would have been very surprised if the log had suggested otherwise as I've run several disk checks and they all came back clear, so i guess at least we can eliminate that?
The IE10 update caused loads of errors and I was forced to restore the system to an earlier date. I've run several SFC today most of which found errors that it was unable to repair. I also tend to receive the message "windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation" quite often. Is this normal?
I've just completed another full reinstall and I'm running a SFC before doing anything else. I'll post the log once I have it, but this is a 100% clean install without even running windows update.

Hi Noel,
Here are the CBS logs. What do you think? Does it look clean?
