  I fight with my laptop Acer Aspire 5313 since before the new year, trying to get my Media Player to work... trying to get my updates to load and I finally did a restore disk in desperation. I noticed when I did restore the Version of Windows Vista Home Premium it restored to was that for Service Pack 1, it should have been 2 Pack and registration of license # is different from that on the Windows label on the bottom.

• Historic Windows Update displays do not correctly after installing problem updates 7.6.7600.256 for Windows Update Agent?

  Had the problem on the 25/06 reboot after the installation of update 7.6.7600.256 for Windows Update Agent (required system restore).

  This (with duplicates) and subsequent updates are shown as successful in the history of the update, but shows always date of "updates have been installed" on the home window Windows Update like 13/06/2012 (previous updates) and updates later only the fix (KB981889) shows as available in the Uninstall list.

  How will I know if the Windows Agent Update and other subsequent updates installed correctly?

  If the Update Agent update has not been installed correctly, is there a solution for this?
