error code 80070005

Error code 80070005 received when trying to do updates. The threads below are
very old and didn't resolve the problem. Any new information to correct the
problem?

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1) when
posting to this newsgroup, please.

Are you logged on as Administrator when attempting to "do updates"?

Possible fix if running WinXP SP2 or SP3:

At least I can expect to get some relief now, the same problem has happened with me with the only difference being mine is (Win XP SP1). The same error message is also being displayed to me and I would like to get a fix for this. Thanks.

brucereid, please confirm what update/service pack you are trying to
install.

There is not Vista SP2, Dee.

I'd recommend that you...

Start a free Windows Update support incident request:
https://support.microsoft.com/oas/de...spx?gprid=6527

Support for Windows Update:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/wusupport

For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY in
the United States and in Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft
subsidiary. There is no-charge for support calls that are associated with
installing security updates.

For more information about how to contact your local Microsoft subsidiary
for security update support issues, visit the International Support Web
site: http://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx

For enterprise customers, support for security updates is available through
your usual support contacts.

Please begin a new thread about your issue, Bruce. State your full Windows
version (e.g., WinXP SP1) in your first post.
