Did you gt the OX X.6.6 update via Software Update? If so go this this Apple web site link and download the Combo Updater and see if that makes a differences. It is usual for files to come as .dmg files, double click to open and then install in Applications or wherever.

If this fails try formatting the drive and doing a clean SL install.
