One of the most common causes of this error code (Access Denied) is the Anti Virus and
Anti Spyware software programs running on the computer.
You can try turning them off and then try the updates again. Keep the firewall on though
or start a free Windows Update support incident request:

| Windows Vista Premium stopped searching for or downloading Windows
| Updates in late August this year. The error code 80070005 is
| presented. After reading many of the postings in this newsgroup, I am
| uncertain what the real repair for this problem is. I'd appreciate a
| very clear response as I am a senior citizen attempting to update the
| Vista Premium software.
| Thanks for your help.
