Hello again!
Sorry about the late reply. Been busy, and this is a complex post!
Fortunately, through a combination of the Windows Side by Side configuration, and files I sent you previously, I have managed to find a good copy of each file on your system already. I am going to try and nail it all in one go. This is the most taxing script I have ever written! It has got my heart rate up! This post is long and complicated. Please read carefully. If you don't understand, ask. If you get stuck, DO NOT move on. Please read it through once in its entirety first.
WARNING: This script has been created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do not follow these instructions, or there could be devastating affects.
STEP ONE:
Please create a System Restore point, and any backups that you normally would. I don't think it will go wrong, but fingers crossed, this is a very complex and slightly dodgy process.
Please close all open programs. These will be force closed automatically, but BY FORCE! Word will not prompt you to save this time! It will just close! Please close everything except for this internet browser window now.
Please create a System Restore point now:

Just in case it all goes wrong, you need a way to get back onto your feet again. However, we need to take some steps now. Please download and burn a CD/DVD from here:
Windows Vista Recovery Disc Download — The NeoSmart Files
It is completely legal. Otherwise, if you have a Vista disk to hand which you know has Repair options, then this is not required. Also, if you have another computer available, then this is not required, as you can do it if you really need to, and only if you really need to.
Please make sure that you have a way of contacting us if the computer does not boot. We can fix it, but we need to be able to chat!
Safe Mode should run even if it does all go wrong. Please familiarise yourself with how to operate it now, just in case:

I think that the chance of a catastrophe is next to zero, but we need to be ultra careful when helping someone else. Anyway, they are good things to learn.
STEP TWO:
Right, onto the fixing!
Run OTL
- Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
Code:
:Files
mkdir C:\BackedupFiles\ /c
xcopy C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_tpm.inf_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6001.18000_none_ac22eb370727a62a\tpm.sys C:\BackedupFiles\1\ /v /i /h /k /x /y /c

:Commands
[CREATERESTOREPOINT]
[EMPTYTEMP]
- Then click the Run Fix button at the top
- Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
Hopefully, all will be well. Contact me if not, giving details. The first thing to try is Safe Mode. What with Safe Mode and System Restore, there really is nothing to worry about.
STEP THREE:
- Double click on the OTL icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
Under the Custom Scan box paste this in:
/md5start
cambriab.ttf
esrb.rs
tpm.sys
/md5stop
- Click the None button, followed by the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
- When the scan completes, it will open one notepad window. OTL.Txt These are saved in the same location as OTL.
- Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of this file, and post them here.
STEP FOUR:
Right, please run steps 1, 2A, 3 (about 15 minutes), 4, 5, and then Step 1 from the top yellow box, but only follow this last one if Integrity Violations were found. Please upload the new sfcdetails.txt from your Desktop.
System Files - SFC Command
Good luck!
