error code 0x80070005

I keep get this error code 0x80070005 when I try to update windows. I have
windows xp home edition.

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3) when posting to
this newsgroup.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed?

Can you tell us which update(s) you're trying to install?

One of the most common causes of this error code 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.

You may be able to solve the problem by downloading and and then installing
the Subinacl.exe file.

Julie, FYI, it would have been better to start your own thread and provide
all the relevant information so we can assist if appropriate/possible.
