Could not start automatic updates access denied

I have a windows 2003 server SP2. The automatic updates service is set to
automatic, but it will not start. I receive an access denied error
0x80070005. I have tried re-registering dlls and have re-downloaded the
express setup. can someone assist

Hello David,

The 0x80070005 is an access denied message -

One of the most common causes of this erro� 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
fi�ewall on though.

Virus scanning recommendations for computers that are running Windows Server
2003, Windows 2000, or Windows XP

Otherwise you'll need to contact MS for further assistance -
How to obtain assistance from MS Support

site:

I'd recommend calling 1-866-pcsafety if you are in the U.S. or Canada.
Elsewhere, call your local Microsoft subsidiary, or the number for paid
suppo�t in your locale--and ask for the free help with virus or
security-patch related issues. This help extends to spyware removal as well.

If you /clearly/ state that a specific update has caused problems and don't
ask any other questions, you /should/ receive No Charge suppo�t for the
issue.

Good luck
