Receiving error 0x80070005 trying to fix error 80070424

Hello there,

I get the error code 80070424 when I try and enable my Windows Updates. I
went to the following thread, but I cannot complete his solution because I
get the error 0x80070005.

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...5f11f70577&p=1

I went to the next URL, but that didn't work to alleviate my 0x80070005
problem.

I am running Vista 64-bit SP1 Home Premium.

Much thanks

They are old threads 2006 and 2007 and relate to Windows XP SP2 by the look
of it.

0x80070005 is an access denied error.

You should provide us with all the relevant info concerning 0x80070424.


This "Click Start, select run, type: regsvr32 wuaueng.dll"
would have to be run as an administrator

Thanks for the reply.

When I go into Windows Update and hit the update button, it says that
Windows Update encountered an unknown error (Code 80070424). I can't perform
the 'run regsvr32 wuaueng.dll' because I get the 0x80070005 error.

If there is any other information that I can provide, I will.

Thanks.

To be more specific, when I try to run 'regsvr32 wuaueng.dll,' I get the
message "The module 'wuaueng.dll' was loaded but the call to
DllRegisterServer failed with the error code 0x80070005."

Did you try - How to reset security settings back to the defaults

You could try running System File Check.

Start Orb -> type in command

Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator

SFC /SCANNOW

Did you use Run As Administrator?
