Win 7 home premium sucessfully installs the same updates repeatedly

The same thing still happens. I tried uninstalling the first three updates of my last post, which worked, and then running windows update again. I was presented with the same updates as always plus KB3021952 (which win update says is a patch for IE9). I then tried just installing the 5 repeating updates but the result was the same, they install successfully and then want to be downloaded and installed again.

I also tried uninstalling sp1 from the command line, but it error saying it is not installed. So I then downloaded SP1 iso from microsoft and tried to install sp1 but it just errors out with an error box that contains no error code and just says I need to restart the computer and try again. Very frustrating.

Ok, will do! I'm going to let the computer sit for a while while we have breakfast and get the day going.

What would you suggest as the best method of determining which update of those offered is the oldest?

Ok, I gave it about two hours and then I ran Windows update. I've attached a screen shot of the updates presented. The oldest was KB2872339, released 9-10-2013.

I'm going to install only KB2872339 and then I'll post the results.

The results were the same: The old update installed successfully without error. running windows update again causes the "successfully" installed update to be presented again, as if it had never been installed.

I have attached the windows update log

If anyone knows how I can determine the order the pics show up in the post please let me know so I can make my posts easier to follow. Other wise, the correct order to view the pics as they currently appear in the post is: first, third, fourth, second.

Thanks,

I was finally able to repair my laptop by doing a non destructive reinstall of windows 7. The instructions on how to do this are here:

I backed up my hard drive prior to the procedure, but ultimately it worked great. I now receive updates and they install only once and I did not have to reinstall any of my user programs.
