Resolved Lots of Software Not Working on Windows 7 x64


hi everyone!
have installed new ssd in 2011 mbp, , have put fresh installs of lion , windows 7 professional 64 on it. having installed safari, quicktime , apple software updater, proceeded allow windows 7 update (long list of hundreds of system update thingumibobs), perform series of windows 7 optimisations ssds, such disabling search indexing, hibernation, prefetch, etc. applied mbr patch ahci disk drivers working in boot camp.

suddenly, no apparent reason, whole bunch of software doesn't work anymore. in safari's case, if open it, blue wheel next mouse pointer spins ~5 seconds (during safari listed in task manager processes) before stopping without notifications, or (and disappearing task manager). internet explorer works fine, using edit post now. steam , origin both stop working reported crash after opening.
ahci mode stops boot camp preferences panel working, tried reverting normal ide mode see if problem, there no change. have tried repairing, , reinstalling safari, , deleting safari's appdata. no change.

reinstall windows, seems silly when have no idea did make software stop working.

ideas?
 

just clear, software works fine (internet explorer, avira antivirus, windows media player), other software crashes immediately, trying resolve problem popup (steam, origin), , won't start @ all, without notice or error (quicktime, safari, apple software updater).

confused.
