Problem with six windows updates, 5 that repeatedly install and 1 that fails to install
I am running vista home premium 32bit with IE9.
Some time ago I noticed that these updates were repeatedly saying they installed successfully but then show up as ready to install over and over again:
security update for windows vista KB2621440
security update for windows vista KB2665364
security update for windows vista KB2676562
update for windows mail junk filter [march 2012] KB905866
update for windows vista KB2679255
They do not show up in installed updates.
The following update fails to install with the error code 9C48:
windows internet explorer 9 for windows vista
Other updates show up and install successfully and do not return as ready to install.
I have tried multiple fix it tools for resetting windwos update components, fix common issues with windows update..etc..to no avail.
I have tried uninstalling IE9 via command prompt to no avail.
I do not see any of those updates in view installed updates and the section for Microsoft Windows is missing from the list of installed updates.
I have scanned my pc with various tools from malwarebytes to combofix and it is clean.
The machine in question runs fine outside of these updates that repeat and the one that fails.
I have started other threads about this but eventually anyone attempting to help stops responding. I realize they are probably busy with other stuff.
For example:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
