Problems with Windows Update

I just started having a problem with the Windows Update. I just recently reinstalled Windows 7 64bit and it was installing updates just fine.

Then I did something I probably shouldn't have. It was in the middle of installing updates and it got stuck on an update, can't remember which one, there was over a hundred in that batch. But I kept checking on it and it never did go past the update no matter how long I let it sit there. I had to restart the pc for other reasons. I realize you shouldn't restart or shut down the pc while Windows is installing updates but if it gets stuck on an update, what are you supposed to do? I tried stopping the installation but that did not work.

Anyways, after I restarted, everything seemed fine. Windows installed SP1 without any issues shortly after so I thought everything was fine. But apparently not. Now I can not get Windows to check for updates. I found out the Windows Update service is not running. So I tried to start it and it gives me an error "error 0x80070057, the parameter is incorrect."

Did I screw it up by restarting in the middle of Windows updating or is there something else going on here?

I have tried a Microsoft Fix it for windows update but it gave me an error while trying to install it.

I was going to try and do a repair install but I am not sure I can. When I select upgrade instead of custom, it says I have a newer version of Windows already installed.

Ok, I am having all kinds of trouble. I tried to install SURT and get an error code when trying to install it. The error code is 0x80080005, server execution failed. I downloaded the right version.

I ran the SFC Scan and it did not find any integrity violations.

I can't seem to get to the page where it shows the Windows Update error codes. When I click on view update history, nothing comes up on the page, it is blank.

I am not sure how to post the Logs folder. The size limit for a zip file is 8mb and my log folder is 16mb. How do I go about posting that?

I was going to try a repair install but I am not sure I can. When I run the cd and chose upgrade for the installation option, it says I am running a newer version than what I would be installing. Do I need to do something different to do a repair install?

I did a quick search of Seven forums ( rebuild windows update ) and found this

Windows Update - Reset

A WU reset is unlikely to fix this type of problem - we may be looking at a repair install

Please first upload the following files

C:\Windows\windowsupdate.log
C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log - you'll need to copy it to the desktop then compress the copy before uploading it.

I tried uploading the CBS log but the folder is to big even when compressed. The size limit for zip files is 8mb and my CBS log folder is 16mb. Can I compress it again to make it small enough to post?

Here is the Windowsupdate file:
